Top of piston Side Wonder when Redrider is going to take Rocketmans piston out and remove the carbon from the inside of his engine and piston his piston had more blow by than mine........ (See last picture on this page) Intake side, that scratch on the left of the skirt is not as bad as it looks, the flash from the camera's caught it just right. Exhaust side Bottom side
The top ring groove was clean and the second groove had a 
small amount of carbon build up.
The rings only had .003 wear for the season, going by the specifications
in the Honda service manual I still have .004 wear left before they need 
replaced.

You can see the amout of blow buy getting past Rocketmans rings :-(

Sorry about the bad picture.....
