Today i was cleaning up the deck of the engine for my new heads, and after i got all the rust and old gasket material off, i found a few little flecks of metal stuck to the top edge of the cylinder wall. This piston had a whole lot more carbon built up on it than the others, and because of that, i am pretty sure the rings are shot. As far as i can tell, the little ridges are just on the top part of the cylinder.
Is this as bad as i think? i'm worried that i have to get a junkyard engine now. What do you guys think? Here are some photos i took of it tonight. The fluid in the cylinder is WD-40. i used it with a scotch brite pad to get rid of the surface rust that was on everything.
