Hello, I just pulled the cylinder head off my M20B27 with 126k miles. The cylinder walls look and feel really nice and smooth and the engine rotates super smooth, BUT I did notice the slight discoloration towards the top of the cylinders. It is almost like a bunch of greenish-brown spots. It feels perfectly smooth to the touch but just looks strange - at least to me. I know that there are faint horizontal lines from where the piston rings reach their highest point, but it is more the "spottiness" that I am confused by.
Is this normal? Is it a sign of an issue? I'm hoping to leave it untouched if I can but will do whatever I need to.
