What was the specific problem you took it apart for (usually good to know what you are fixing)? Low compression in all cylinders, one cylinder, rings, valves, fuel supply,?? Those piston tops were Clean! That can sometimes happen with a small coolant leak, but not all four like that. I am at 4:22 so have not seen the combustion chambers yet but those pistons LOOK outstanding (from someone that has rebuilt countless motors). OK. Just saw the head/valves. It looks excellent as well. Those coco brown intake valves are what you want to see. An engine with carbon build up would have both valves covered with carbon and you could not see the contour of the top of the valve. That engine is very low hours from someone just very recently having it apart. Engines in bad shape don't look like that. That is how you want your head to look. I take it you very recently replaced the plugs because they look new as well.
My guess is someone just before you did a valve job (maybe just a lap job) and did not hone or re-ring the engine but cleaned up the head, combustion chambers, piston tops, and valves and put it back together with a new head gasket.
The screen on top of the oil pan drain plug is to protect the input of the oil pump syphon tube. The tube input sits right in the middle of that screen.
Good video. Maybe slow down and explain what we are looking at? (Just a suggestion, not at all a criticism) As an 8N owner, I enjoy all vids like this on 9N’s, 2N’s, 8N’s & Jubilees! Looking forward to the next one! Good job!

You didn't mention having done a compression test prior to dismantling the valve train.
That usually helps pinpoint which cylinders ate weak and why.

should have adjusted the valves before anything. You’d be surprised what a difference that makes on those old 134’s .
I did adjust them off camera and it didn’t help any
Me gustan tus videos y además me gustas vos, jaja. Estoy enamorado de tus dientes. xD (aunque suene raro. xd )
