Looks like the edge of carbon build up.

Hit the pistons with some contact cleaner and a little scotch brite, i bet the coating appears...:D

what about the rings aren't those the things that go bad on those pistons

I suspect the rings are bad, I have new ones to install

The new rings in clips where just over 200 bucks and are file fit

I'm taking it to the machine shop tomorrow so I'll have more specs on the rings then. I just figure it's easier to pack it around with the slugs left in there

I'll then see what the skirts look like but the walls look great IMO

what is the difference between the rings used on mahle and arias pistons? i wonder if you can order an arias piston cut for the mahle ring sizes? to go for the longevity?
