so i got one cylinder head off.

As i removed the bolts in sequence and stages of course i came to one that was just not as tight as the rest. And i though hmm thats not right. I mean it wasn't loose by any means using a breaker bar they all required a pretty good tug, except for the one above cylinder 4 on the top it was just a little looser.

Anyway pulled the head and this is what i found.




Piston number 4 seems a little cleaner than the rest, towards the top near that bolt, and I'm wondering if this may have been the culprit. Compression on that cylinder was good of course.
Heres a closer pic.





Cylinder walls look great for 126,000 miles.
