I know why the piston is darker on thats side, I was more concerned about the sleeve not wearing even on that side near the exhaust. Also the chipping that is present on the rod where nothing is near contacting it. I understand that that is where the sleeve is the thinnest due to the large exhaust port and the rest of the way around the sleeve is filled with may smaller ports so that it may in fact be wearing correctly. This is my first mega port motor, and the first that runs at a great tune when running but only started WHEN fuel is coming out the exhaust. I will tear down the carb today and clean it out, I reassembled the motor and am waiting to try it again. It never fully hydrolocked at all, I notice when its getting loaded up with fuel and just starts to get hard to turn over then stop, remove the plug and empty it.
The only reason I felt that it should get taken care of is the rod, and the marking on the top of the piston (the scars not the color). The uneven wear makes sence to me this morning, last night was not the best night I had :S so I may have over-reacted cause I was pizzed about a few other thnigs, that just caught me by suprise and I vented.
