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.
