What's inside?

Time to take the manifold off and see what, if anything, had made its way into the intake. Using a Snap-on video borescope I was able to determine nothing was on top of the valves. Looking through the spark plug holes I was also pleasantly surprised to discover no foreign objects in the cylinders either. I added a generous quantity of Marvel Mystery oil to each cylinder in preparation for turning the engine over soon.

Although I was pleasantly surprised on not finding any junk in the engine I was not prepared for what I would discover under the intake manifold... Rube Goldberg gone wild.
