Do my cylinder walls and pistons look ok? 56K Warning
I had to pull the passenger side head to tap and helicoil one of the rocker bolts that I stripped. Decided to snap some pics of the pistons and cylinder walls while everything was a part.
There was a little bit of coolant left in the cylinders.. I couldn't get it all out while I was drying things up.
What do you guys think?
cylinder 2
cylinder 4
cylinder 6

The Walls look good.
The carbon deposits on the piston are tellin you a story. Notice they are clean around the edges of the piston? That is from oil cleaning them. Its blowby from the rings. I just did H/C on a 107k motor and his looked better than yours.
Not a Big deal. Just dont expect as high of numbers as you would out of a new/broken in shortblock.
