Default Pulled head & noticed valve seat shift & unburnt fuel at top of piston 3. Need confirmation.

So I pulled my head yesterday just to do a check up and see what condition my valves and pistons are in and everything seems to be fine. But I have what I believe to be excess fuel on the top of cylinder three and a improperly cut valve seat on cylinder three. Help me confirm my findings.





Cylinder 1



Cylinder 2



Cylinder 3, see what I mean on the exhaust side.









Cylinder 4



Block Side







Cylinder 1



Cylinder 2



Cylinder 3 *Notice the unburnt fuel that I had wiped partially away from the top of the piston.*



Cylinder 4




Then lastly, is this leak from my cam seal or the corner of my headgasket. New golden eagle cam seal & new oem honda headgasket. Cam seal had no hondabond on it and the headgasket had no copper spray.








Thanks in advance to all that answer.

Can't comment on the fuel issue but the oil leak is most likely coming from the GE plug assuming your distributor o-ring and misc gaskets around the vtec solenoid are good. I had bad luck with my GE cam plug, so I went back to the plastic OEM piece and the leak went away.
