| Hello, since here it's full of experts, I'd like to ask you what could have caused in your opinion these stripes (especially the horizonthal ones) in this cylinder: [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir cette image]The cylinder has about 500 hours, 100 hours from the last "clean up" (after which only the vertical stripes were present, the horizonthal ones are a new of now), it still has its full 180psi of pressure after 100 hours with the new piston and runs great. The dark stripes are NOT wet, like oil you can remove from your finger, and they can't be felt neither with the nail, i.e. it's smooth and dry. Thank you very much for your insights. With kind regards, Tony |

| The vertical ones are directly on the wall parts of the cylinder, between ports. Carbon deposit, coming whith oil mix?

| It looks helicoidal. I would say like Phytus: because of the machining.
It may be very low, less than one micron, but you still see it. |

| But they weren't visible before. Perhaps the latest treatment (100 hours ago) to polish the cylinder may have induced it?
Should I worry? It runs perfectly but, does it impede for example to the oil to adhere well to the cylinder wall?
PS: and what about the uppermost part of the cylinder, with that brown-copper discoloration, i.e. where the rings never come? What do you think? |

| 1) défaut de planéité de culasse/cylindre ou les 2
2) c'est usé à la moelle: y a plus aucune trace de rodage sur le cylindre
3) à part remesurer le cylindre pour voir ce qu'on peut en faire... |

## I agree, I had a 50cc Polini cylinder where this happened, it looked exactly the same (but mine was much more worn! Engine still ran strong). I am only referring to the top section of the bore - the horizontal stripes look similar, but it's more difficult to say. |
