My engine was rebuilt around 2013. A 1971 Wagon with the original 455 that was bored .60. The car was in an accident a year later and has been stored since. I am just now getting around to getting it put back together. I'd say the engine has less than 5-8K miles on it.
I am changing the intake manifold and was looking inside the engine at the valves and I noticed that one of them looked bad. Cylinder #2 (Passenger side front) appears to have corrosion. I checked the gaskets and they don't show evidence of an internal water leak. Has anyone experienced this? What could have caused this and what, if anything, should I do to fix it? All the other valves seem to be OK, save for some carbon.
