Re: removal of something in cylinder head

Its not as bad as it looks, that stock piston is thick on top
and I don't think it will cause any trouble. I will just clean
up everything and re assemble, if it does present any trouble I
will pull the motor this fall or next spring. My VW sand rail
dropped a valve into the piston and it was stuck in pretty deep
and that never caused any trouble after I pulled the valve out
of the piston,but time will tell
Thx for the offer @ LW if I do I will ask, but hopefully not
needed

SUCCESS :) I got it all back together last night and its
running real good (so far ) When I had the intake and head off
I pulled all of the lifters out and freed them up 12 out of 16
were sticking! the only thing I have to do yet is put hood back
on car and check the brakes.

Yep that's my worry also ,the pistons run hot enough it does not
need any more heat! the only thing I have going for me is the
motor always runs rich so may be it will help keep it cool till
the dings fill in with carbon lol . I always fight with spark
knock ! the fuel that we get now a days is so cheep and does
not contain lead so I run additives in gas to off set that! keep
fingers crossed . Yep just 1 piston I could of dropped the oil
pan and replaced it but I figured if I was going to go through
all that work I would just get another motor

I have been running the mustang and driving it around
neighborhood and all was working just fine so out on main road
I went . After about 2 miles it stalled and I figured it was out
of gas (gauge not working correctly ) got more gas and back
running but when I go for speed it sounds like it running out of
gas . When I got it back home I took off fuel filter and a muddy
mess came out of it (GRR) so now its tank cleaning time, that
gas with ethanol in it is trash ! The car knows I am going to
sell it so its paying me back
@LW do you use a fuel additive to replace the lead in your VW

No, I don't use an additive. Maybe I should, but the bug runs
so nice. I never used additives on the Triumph sports cars
either.
In resurrecting a 1958 VW I had to replace the entire fuel line,
clean and seal the tank, replace the tap, and filter. Varnished
old fuel is a real pain.
I'll bet you have a similar problem. It may look like good fuel
flow until your fuel bowl is starved. Blow air back through the
fuel line. It should be free and easy. If not you may need to
bypass and/or replace. I just abandoned my old fuel line and
ran a new one parallel. Remove the tank and have it cleaned.

I am not 100% sure if its needed (lead additive ) but I have
been told on older engines without hardened exhaust valve seats
the lead acted as a lube to help them not get destroyed but I
don't know if your motor has hardened seats or not . Yea when I
took out the fuel filter it had a lot of brown stuff in it I
went and bought a new one that was clear and it plugged up real
fast I will keep cleaning it out by back flushing it with gas
but that and removing tank is such a smelly job and pain in the
neck . At least working on a 66 all you need is a 1/2 inch &
9/16 inch wrench and you can dissemble the hole car! Oh and a
pair of pliers and hammer

Beautiful car! I'm jealous. I had a wimbeldon white 65 with a
stock 289 and automatic. Loved that ride. It had the pony
interior. Those mustangs still look contemporary on the road.
Never liked the looks of the 6 cylinder though. It sat too low
and looked weak.
If I was loaded I would get a 65 fastback white with blue
stripes and big tires. Vrroooommm
