Well, of course, the first problem I see is that it's a four-banger! 
Well, there's some obvious carbon build up, but the pic really isn't big enough to get much detail. That said, let's see, numbering from left to right....
Looks like you might have some head gasket problem between 2 & 3. Or maybe you just cleaned up there?
Maybe a coolant leak problem between 3 & 4.
Do you have some gouges or chips below #1?
Definitely some grunge in the coolant passages.

So I am just letting this marinade for a while.
But you guys are good!
OH!
BTW
Number one is on the right. I placed the head facing the front like in the Jeep.
