Here I am again with more pics...I have read alot about pistons and I am interested to learn the most possible.
I think the jetting it is a little rich(some carbon in top of piston) and about the light spots on the side of the piston ? As I have read that could be improper warming of the bike or wear.
Pls give me your opinions.

BTW The pics are very bad but I can not have better...Inside the piston does not exists any carbon only a light brown color.

You can't make a direct link to a picture on your local hard disk with the IMG tag. For the IMG tags to work your pictures have to be on an IP addressable web location like a web server.

The pics could do with being a bit bigger-it has a bit of blow by past the ring but no more than my 12 hour old ones.The burn pattern on the crown doesnt look too bad but RR will be able to read it better than me.

If you are trying to read the jetting from a piston with 95 hours on it you are wasting your time.

I thought vertex is only suposed to be run for no more than 10 hours due to tight racing specs?
