Hi everyone.

Quacking with the car today identifying the TDC. As this involved having a look down no.1 cylinder I poked the little camera down to watch for it's progress. The crap on top of that piston was a bit worrying. There was actually one flake that was loose. I used a small disposable pipette to try get it near the plug hole to maybe lift it out, but lost it. I don't know if it looks worse than it is as the bores were quite flooded due to recent starting issues.

What do you guys think?

I'm thinking of changing the head gasket soon, as I seem to have an oil leak at the back of that no.1 cylinder, could the two things be related? Other cylinders were a lot better.
I'm not experiencing any other blown head gasket symptoms, that I'm aware of. The pic of the rockers is too show how clean they are.

Thanks,Daz.
