So now that my 69 beetle is done, I thought I would tear down the engine that came with the donor body. Don't know how many years this engine had set since it last ran. Look what I found in #3 cylinder.



I have never seen stalagtites of rust before. Good part is that the cylinders are replaceable, and everything else looks good.

Just hit it with a wire brush - it’ll be alright.

A little WD-40 will take care of that.
