Hey everyone,
I finally got a chance to pull the head on my 1974 MGB. Some of you may remember my earlier post about having odd compression test results on the #3 cylinder. It's been awhile since that first post.
Well, I pulled the head, but don't really know enough to know if there's anything visibly wrong. I didn't *see* what looked like a burnt valve, but they don't always look like anything's wrong. It would be too much to ask for a crack in the head to be visible.
But I took some pictures of what things looked like, and I can take more. It could just need a new head gasket, but who really knows.
I posted the pics here:

Please check them out and tell me what you think. Am I correct in thinking that once the engine is ready for reassembly that I'm going to need to clean off all the carbon?
Thank you,
-Bill
