Re: Melted piston?

Taking the head off is not considered "normal" maintenance item. I have 20+year old mower that has never had the heads off.

I would say that it may be deposits from the fuel is all.

On the exhaust probably because newer engines are set to run on the lean side and run a little hotter than they used to.

Don't forget the new head gasket
