Have a look at these pistons please! Diagnosis

I pulled the cylinder covers off the zrt this morning, figured i'd see what the tops of the pistons look like before i decide to go any farther.

I think they look pretty good, characteristic from posts that i've seen but i'm not 100% on the look of the mag side. Here's a few pics...

A few points
1. The colour is the brown-black carbon, no flaking
2. The mag side cylinder WAS the only cylinder firing at start up until i adj. the choke. I never got a chance to run the sled for any period after the adjustment.
3. The cylinder walls look good and clean.
4. The "glitter" in the pic is just from the camera flash, no metal shavings or anything like that.

What worried me is the centre of the piston cleaner than the edges. So is the look of this piston o.k.?



Thanks
Adam
