Check the groove on the heads under the intake ports for carbon deposits.

I used a media blaster to clean my intake manifold both inside and out. It looks really great now, at least the parts that I can see.
Yes I inspected all of that and it was farely clean, the trac at the bottom of the heads had some build up but not pluged.It is just so cool that this unit has so little of it for as old as it is. Thank you for the heads up j-n-t
