Hi
The attached jpg is a periscope photo taken of my number 4 piston after the engine has been sitting for a day.
Questions:
1: What is the screw head like thing in the center?
2: Do the stamped markings mean anything to anyone?
3: Where does the fluid come from? Its not present in the other cylinders.
Regarding question 3. With the flathead design oil wont seep into the cylinders through gravity while at rest, so my best guess is its unburnt additives I've added to my fuel. Seems a lot though and the engine runs great. Number 4 has the lowest compression of all 4 but only by about 5%.
Thanks
