Picked the head up this arvo , so I cleaned up the deck of the block and scraped all the carbon off the tops of the pistons- found some marks that indicated this motor has eaten something at some point
Cylinders 3 and 4 - explains how the score mark in pot 4 came about…….

Cleaned out the head bolt holes and hoping for the best
