I was working on my engine today and figured I would clean the carbon off the top of the pistons while the heads are off. It appears that whoever owned this engine before must have missed a shift and over revved the engine. The pistons and valves have become quite close friends. Some closer than others. This is the worst one and it's not bad enough to hurt anything.

100% stock when that happened. It won't be when I put it back together.

I have a strange feeling that that is what mine are going to look like if not worse when I pull my stock heads off (due to a blotched 4th gear shift that ended up in 2nd).
