White stuff ? Not sure what you’re referencing.
Edit:Are you talking about the valve picture ? If so I think the specks are just reflection of the flash on the oil deposits

I haven't been able to get Gas with TEL in over 24 years. If that engine has been run in the last Quarter Century, it's probably not lead deposits.

But the heads aren’t worth fixing couple of worn guides so it would be to much to spend . The heads are 75cc smog heads so I’m looking for new ones

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
It's been a while since I posted anything on the board. Have more been reading/searching.
Last friday I put in a new water pump , new thermostat, new fan clutch with 7 blade fan and finally a shroud. Never had the shroud on because the 5 blade that was on it was a 19" fan. To big for the shroud. Had some overheating problems on the hot summer days, so decided to change a few parts. Luckily the radiator was still okay. Anyway, now it stays cool again.
