Looks like a ton of carbon buildup on those pistons too -- get a dremel with a cleaning attachment and carefully get rid of that (TDC piston of course)

Whats that green crap too
Drain the block, flush everything and get Zerex G05 in there.
I was planing on rebuilding the head myself, I have the new valve seals, planning on checking the valve guides and lapping the valves. My son over heated the car so I guess I will take it to a shop and have them vacuum and pressure check it. I guess I will get a exhaust valve from my spare motor or buy one from someone on here. I didnt put the green crap in there my son bought it that way, all my Mercedes get G05. Thanks.
