has any one here has the outer edges of their piston flake or chip while the rest/middle looks perfect? I think i saw of pic of it for someone who blew their engine awhile back but can find it. what caused this? there is also a line running up the side of the piston about this _ wide and it is about 1mm deep, it is not a seizure, everything is clean and the cyllinder is perfect. The mechanic thinks maybe a spark plug tip left over from a previous rebuild by the previous owner. Any ideas?
 

Was the ring broken on the exhaust side ? If it was you are lean on that cylinder and the score is from the ring .which cylinder is it ?
