    Pamco install help

    Ran into a problem, this pin is sitting too high to sit in it's respective slot on the aluminum cap. I took the pin out and made sure there was nothing in there keeping it from sitting down all the way. It is close to a sixteenth off. Any ideas?

    bent lower fork tube

    build up on pistons...

    I was locating TDC through the spark plug hole and noticed how cruddy the top of my pistons are. Question is will the carbon build up affect my engine negatively? Just seeing it in there is bothering me, might be time for a top end rebuild.
