Only disappointment of the day. Oil behind the throttle body.

You could eat out of the supercharger.
Ready to take the heads off.
any signs of wear? the whole thing looks clean to me.Originally Posted by gbaumann
Heads off.
Here's a closer look. Some carbon build up but nothing I would consider really bad. After all, the motor had just over 48,000 miles on it with 25,000 supercharged when it came out.
This is my favorite pic. You can still see the factory hone hatch. There is no discernible ridge in the cylinder. No visible deformation. No sign of head leak. Did I mention you can see the factory hone hatch? 50k miles!
can someone dumb this down for the rookies? what were we expecting? and it looks better than expected right?
We weren't expecting anything. We're looking for signs of excessive wear or stress from forced induction. Superchargers and turbos increase cylinder pressures. Some say they exceed design specifications and can damage the engine. I don't see evidence of that so far.
