Summer Cleaning~

After driving with the current settings for a year and so~ i start to feel that mango wasn't responding to the throttler as he used to be before the body restoration..... perhaps i had to get some 'upgrades' for mango had putting on quite some weight ^^ (now fully carpeted and an extra 60kg of steels from the body strengthening + rusted panel replacement)

So as usual, i send mango to McGuyver's hand to get it clean up and do some minor adjustment~(it was actually a week before lol~) and he just send me the pic yesterday~ 

 We removed the original SVT head and take a look at the piston~
 And to what we had been guessing...... thick layer of carbons had build up on it~
 and another look at the head as well, it looks ok as my oil change was very frequent~ around every 3000~3500KM on semi 10W40 oil~
 So the cleaning started, start by brushing off the carbon from the piston~
 Then comes the minor 'upgrades'~ BT head with polished port~ and CLEAN up nicely with alkaline base cleaning fluid~
 My HKS plug also received a nice bath~ hohoho~
 And after all was cleaned~ in the new gasket, which is not that expensive for something that would last this much pressure and it's ORIGINAL from toyota~ ^^
And the clean and polish-ed BT head~ It did give me a bit more torque @ lower rpm, 2.5k~ 5k with better respond @ 4-5 gear range~

And the best part is~ It save on fuel compare to before the cleaning~ (^.^)~ yeah~!!!!!! more $$$ to pay for other parts~ lol~
