I think this very strange looking carbon buildup might be the consequence of the oil dripping in the combustion chambers. It seems to be worse in the cylinders where the spark plugs were fouled the most.



I'm 99,99% sure the pistons don't stick out of the block, but I'll check again. Gaskets are Fel Pro 8548-pt 1.
