87 Mobil or Sunoco.
it went in casue of worn valve guides. I assume the black carbon build up is a result of that.

+1 I've seen a few air-cooled engines opened up like that and they all looked just about like that. I would think it would still be a good idea to clean the pistons heads while the heads are off.

i wish i could. but the bike isnt in my possession and im not about to pay $80 to have them clean something thats pretty normal. Ill just run extra rich Techron in my next fill up. i have an itch to go down there with some sea foam and an old rag. lol
