Metallic specks on piston.. detonation?
When I'm doing my valve alignment, I looked at the top of the piston when they're at TDC, and I can see little blemishes on the tops. Looks like someone took something pointed, and hammered all over the top.
Is this a sign of detonation?
Also, the top of my pistons are incredibly clean.. nice and shiny. Does this mean
I have coolant leaking into my cylinders? I've been trying to find out why
I lose coolant slowly.
