like an orange goldish color? the oil or the head itself? to me thats a clean head if it not brown but has that orange gold color.

What kind of oil do you run? Has the car sat for a period of time?

yea...just change your oil...and run some like sea foam through it..

and change it 2 more times like after 2000 miles..it will clean it out really well...

like 98s14inaz said

seems like it has been sitting

i actually drive about 75 miles a day so not really. i did run a little low on oil twice cause it was leaking out of my oil pressure sensor but that is fixed. i run full synthetic 10w30.

Could the seafoam lighten up the normal brown stain to a orange/gold color?
