Almost looks like a weld repair, but it sounds crazy that someone would attempt that.
I can't imagine the piston rings would play nice with that surface either.
Will you be tearing the engine down once removed? |
It is the shared wall side with cylinder 3, I was going to throw the borescope into cylinder 3 and take a look at it but decided I didn't feel like doing it since I've already discovered my issue lol, And I don't believe it was a weld repair, upon service records from the previous owner the only real maintenance other than oil change and being deleted is injector 6 had to be replaced as well as the small turbo, I will be tearing the engine down once I get everything swapped because I'm very curious myself, You can't see it in the picture but it also looks like the edge of the piston may be melted also 😂. The scary part is I've been using this to commute to work and back an hour and a half each way and it drives totally fine just smokes it idle 😂😂
