Lines in cylinder 3
So I needed to open my miata to replace the head but I found some lines in cylinder 3 (see picture) they don't seem to be scratches because I can't feel them when running my nail over them and I can barely see them so they just seem like dirty marks.
The rings have been replaced before so I am guessing improper install but my question is, do I need to worry about it or not? https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...164a94c622.jpg |
Is that a hole in the piston? If so, you have bigger problems than a dirty cylinder...

That looks like a little carbon on top of the valve relief, Roger. Or a couple of drops of coolant from the removal of the head.
Those discolorations on the cylinder wall are completely inconsequential. Rest well. Nothing to worry about. |
Oh. Duh. Guess I should have my coffee before replying,

thanks a lot for the fast response, yes it is a bit of coolant. So luckily not a hole.

well nothing was wrong with it before, I would reckon that they aren't suddenly broken 😂
maybe refresh some stuff? new rings, leave the bearings if they are good, you can reuse them. hone the cylinders. |

yeah that is why I was asking for tips, I am definately not the most experienced guy. I am learning as I go. I appreciate your tip!
are there any thing I can look for just to check if something might be wrong? and it would suck to do all that and still have bad comp. ijs, bite the bullet and get intimate with your car. |
