You got it! Yankee ingenuity to the rescue.

That has got to be the dirtiest cam I have ever seen. I think I would have just added a can of AutoRx and driven for a while. You might still want to try it, the rest of the engine will also be that full of gunk!

Be very careful getting the head bolts out, they have a tendancy to get stuck and break off. Loosen each bolt 1/16 of a turn before you take any out, it might help. A stubborn bolt needs PB Blaster and possibly tightened a hair before loosening.

Once the head is off, it will need to be cleaned. Check the valve seals for leaks. Buy a seedling plant tray with at least 20 slots if you remove any valves, makes replacing back into the same position much easier. 20 of those little buggers.

Motor oil and beer, sounds like a fun break. Much better than my daughter, she slept for a week :)
