What is a big problem...that the bolts were loose? Or that my pictures indicate issues that need to be addressed? Not sure what you're referring to. I did not do any carbon scraping - was worried about screwing up the gasket. I was really tempted to at least scrape the carbon off the top of the piston but was just hesitant due to maybe getting dirt down inside the cylinder. Unless I'd actually take the valves out and do everything that should be done, I figure just doing some scraping really wouldn't make that much difference, would it?
