this is where your oil has the hardest time in any engine. Inside the engine this is the hottest part and is the source of oil vaporazation and comsumtion.
this area can reach 400+F easily.
the example in the pictures is my own engine from a 1994 cobra mustang with 140,000 miles with 3000 mile oci.
it had clean valvtrain and the engine was in great shape, I took it apart too see the condition. what do you guys think?
these pistons are in running condition but easy to see plenty of varnish AKA burnt dino oil. this is the main cause of wear,poor fuel milage , here in this area.
pictures of clean valve covers really dont show the whole picture.
yes the last pic of the piston is filthy dirty with dog hair and all. this engine I took apart a couple years ago to inspect.
the cylinder bores had reached the minimum wear readings, worn .0035
