    Cylinders 2 and 3 show discoloration. There may be a difference in the plugs. Antifreeze is corrosive. That may explain it. Cylinder 3 was excessive. Did you notice the sleeve appeared to be damaged? you move the camera so fast I couldn't see.

      Sleeves appeared perfect although the machine shop will ultimately be the judge of that. One of the later videos show 2 of the sleeves allowing air by them when pressure tested by the machine shop. Speaking on which, I'm going to call them to prod them along a bit faster.
