I'm doing a head gasket on a B23E.
There is a significant amount of carbon build up inside the intake manifold, but I don't think this engine has been neglected (underneath the cam cover looks spotless) and there are no oil leaks so the oil trap is most likely not blocked (I am changing it anyway).
Is it a good idea to not allow the engine to recycle what's in the crankcase and run the oil trap breather hose to somewhere down by the frame rail like the good old days? I will replace the entire flame trap and oil trap system and all the hoses, but I don't like the amount of oil that was in the inlet and throttle body. Is it normal to have some black inside the inlet ports?
I'm getting the injectors serviced too
