{I posted this earlier with a picture attached and I didn't realize that it was 600k, sorry 'bout that, dial-up folks}
I took the head off my 97 Ram 4x4 360 to look at the #8 cylinder since the plug was discolored and it has a miss. here is a picture of the valves. they are both covered with yellowish-orange deposits. I see no visible cracks and am guessing that the gasket was blown but only slightly. Am I barking up the right tree or at least in the right forrest?
