Carbon build-up
On my shortblock 350 there is a buildup of carbon on the pistons and a small lip on 3 of the cylinder walls. What would be the cause? Should the block be torn down and redone? I have all new parts for the top end and I want to put it together this weekend but someone said be "leery" of the build-up.
What to do?
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
