CAUTION! Scored pistons can lead to a drop in
performance and to rapid deterioration of the cylinder.
The nature of the carbon deposits that form on the cylinder

information about the fuel mixture burning in your engine.
Remember that mixtures that contain too much oil do not
extend the life of your engine.
