Default Pulled off the head, how do my pistons look?

Soo how does it look? The stuff on the pistons wipe off pretty easily but I left it for the pictures...also motor has been sitting for awhile, is there anything I need to do before putting it back together?

Just click the thumbnails.









Flash made things look worse, but everything wipes off, not sure what it is though.

from those last 2 pics it looks like you might have to bore or hone the walls a bit and go with oversized rings. I could be wrong. Just to me the cylinder walls look too scratched up.

Only if he was rebuilding it. They are not in terrible shape. Since you have the motor out and apart you do need to bore it to at least .5mm over.

Would there be anything wrong with running the motor how it is now? And what should I use to clean up the walls/pistons?
