You see how this blemish goes all the way up to the top of the ring travel? And it's not on a thrust face? And it's not the same width as a wrist pin nor in the correct location?
IDK what that is but I'd be taking a look-see; and if the engine is gonna be that far apart...... for me it's coming out and ALL the way apart. Besides with what appears like a lot of ridge for just 3000 miles on it....... accompanied by that much valve recession... I'm doubting either the skill level of the previous builder, or the veracity of the build at all.
