I'm curious to what was making the little (we will
call them ball bearing marks) in the heads and or cyl...
you tried 2 ignition set ups didnt you... so your down
to fuel... if it was bad fuel it would detonate and
could leave marks... plus run BAD... how old was the fuel




Hello, After I removed the heads, I found it was not dimples as we thought. We were looking in the cyls with a bore scope. I think we were seeing reflections off of the gooy stuff on the piston tops. Looked like a mixture of oil / gas goo. Wiped right off, piston looked like new. I have the engine all apart, and see nothing! No marks anywhere indicating anything hitting. Yes, I tried 2 ignition systems, no difference. Initial start was with the fuel in my tank. The tank was almost empty, so I put in 10 gals of 93 octane before I started the engine. Later, I hooked a hose directly to a 5 gal can of 110...NO difference. UNLESS, I washed the cyls down right from the get-go and caused my problems. Still hunting. Waiting now for the tech from 440Source to call me back. Thanks, Jeff
