Okay guys I decided to buy one of those color inspection cameras from Harbor Freight just to get a good look in the cylinders of my engine that's in the Mustang now and here's what I found in one of the cylinders what do you guys make of this? Does it look like a hole or does it look like carbon deposits

Looks like rust and carbon.

So, should I do anything about it? Or just let it alone?

Buy a couple of bottles of Chevron Techron Concentrate Fuel System Cleaner put them in your gas tank. It will take care if the carbon.

If I ever get it running I'll try that.

Once you do that, try mashing the loud pedal a few times. It'll keep them clean ;-)

Some marvel mystery oil squirted in there will stop it until you start it up. The some good old fashion drive it like you stole it is in order.

Looks like it's just crud on top of the piston. Aluminum doesn't rust.
