Now that I have it I want to make it right. Engine tear down complete. I really expected to find damage but so far only scaring on one rod and an EXHAUST VALVE PORT FULL OF CARBON (see pic). What would cause 1/2" of build up??. Ive been suspecting the head being the cause of the smoking since the bottom and top end look good.
I have all rebuild parts and plan to measure internal components and to replace what's needed inside. I believe i have a good rebuildable unit and want to get it right on the 1st shot.
Working on the head today lapping in new valves and somehow cleaning the ports. THROW SOME INFO AND GOOD ADVICE MY WAY.
THANKS!!!

Burnt oil causes carbon, could be a broken ring, could be running it with too much oil, did you do a compression test before tearing it down?
and welcome to the site, I'm sure someone here can help.
