Clearly a case of poor assembly on behalf of the previous owner.
How many other pistons also kissed?
Was the engine ever misfiring?
Some poor combustion/quench characteristics there, only about 90% colour on some pistons.
Will you stay with the same cam?

It was never misfiring the 3 months I was able to drive it before we had snow. But 6 out of the 8 Pistons have marks. I'm sure if I had a full summer driving this it would have grenaded on me. Better to catch it now.
I'm going to post pictures of the new cam vs the old cam with the specs. Same with the heads. Everything in this motor is very very mild when this guy put it together. Honestly I can't believe I couldn't hear it when it was running.
