I was stripping the head of my 998 to change a lot of gaskets amongst many things. And theres a lot of carbon buildup on top of the pistons. It also looks like part of the piston has been chipped away. Ive taken a few pictures, and could someone tell me if this is normal? 
Btw the engine was rebuilt 10 000 miles ago and came apart really easily. Cheers, Joe |

You wear some attractive shoes in your workshop Mr Deluxe. 
Have we outed a garage crossdresser or do you have an attractive assistant? |

MMMMMMMM, nice shoes  .
I think the piston in question has lost a chunk of carbon , not a chunk of piston or your mini may have "piston pox"

That would be an attractive assistant. Her training is coming along well, upgraded her to scraping gaskets off today. |

Hang on a minute, in the first pic at the front of the block i see a nice red shoe and on the back of the block a manky thong, do you have a mutant crossdressing foot, the location of the nice red shoe in comparison to the manky thong suggests 3 things 1# Mutant crossdressing foot 2#severed ladys foot used as engine stand 3#You have a fetish for taking engine pics whilst being VERY close to your signifigant other So NO, ALL IS NOT WELL HERE

Maybe #3, I mightve figured out the way to get inlimited shed time with minimal interuption by hiding in front of your significant other. |

We may need a complete photo of the foot. |

Actually i was kind of hoping for it to be on its last legs, forced induction or bimmer twinky could still be a lot of fun on a 998... |

Having spent yesterday decoking a block and head, gasket stripper works well for loosening up that crud. Chip off what you can first though. |

the carbon is fine. Put it together again and spray some water in the carb  .
Re. the shoe I have been trying to find something like that in a size 12 for ages. Where did you get them from? |
