Second Glance - Pistons/cylinders

Featured Replies

Ok, I've been into engines before and these pistons/cylinder walls look ok to me but I always like a second opinion.   :)

 

So, if a few people could look over these pictures and give me a second opinion I would appreciate it. :)

 

And yes there are a lot of pictures, yes there's a nice carbon buildup. 

 

This is passenger side only.  I'll take pictures of the drivers side later.

They look good to me. No pits or heat scars. Crosshatch is still visible and evenly degraded. Run it.

This should make you feel better.

This engine is still in daily use. Burns about a quart of oil between changes.

If I saw that I would either pick up a good short block (used) or start a lower end rebuild. lol

 

Here's the driver's side:

This also gives me an easy way to look at them. lol  The lighting in my garage kind of sucks.
