getting there

thanks so much for all the advice!

well, ive done quite a bit of cleaning. wondering how much more i have left. This is about a days worth...

There are some pieces of gasket still left, though it seems to be incredibly thin. Plastic scaper doesnt get it of, nor does a soft wire brush. im worried that I may damage the surface by chiseling it.

Also, a strange (bad?) thing happened as I was cleaning around one of the valves. It sprang closed. You can see it in the picture. Both the first cyl valves are close and the second cyl valves. Will it pop back up next time I crank the the engine? Not sure how to proceed. I dont have the hand crank.

I did remove the plate under the manifold to inspect the valves, everything looked OK with the exception of one of the springs which looked slightly damaged.
