Had you already degreased the exterior of the motor? Cause if you hadn't, then that motor looks pretty clean pre-teardown.

this ones covered 157k miles and had 2 clutches i think the oil in the bore is due to the engine being left side ways on the stand but yes there is a lot of carbon biuld up no crack found when clean up

That headstud is a surprise Ray, there were no telltale noises when I last heard the motor. Hopefully the internals check out ok and you will soon be back putting the motor back together
