OK i'm pulling my engine apart and i'm so confused..... It Seems that my piston has been hitting or JUST touching my cylinder head
It was burning oil and the piston rings are baked, so the Bowl is all brown and thick and crusty...lol... but you can see the clean aluminum ring where the piston has been coming up and touching the cylinder head.... Is this possible????
The marks are on the top and bottom , not the sides at all....I should post a pic, i'll try lata....
Maybe the Rings are baked and causing the piston to drag on the wall, turn a bit in the hole and the bottom of the piston is up enough to touch the head, then hitting and rocking, causing the top of the piston to hit... seems the bottom mark is larger than top...the case in a couple of the cylinders...
The engine block or heads have never been machined either
