Sorry to see this man, yeah real frightening, you certainly aren't the only one on here this has happened to, but your car is much tidier than mine was when it happened, all the best with getting it sorted.

hey

Scrapped down my Cylinderhead and took out the pistons and clean them.

Carbon deposits like that on the pistons are typical of a motor in need of new valve guide seals. Although the rest of the pistons look pretty coked up too. Was it using much oil?
