    Default Carmel Cylinder Bores

    If there were carmel color streaks up and down the cylinder bores of an engine, what would you say?

    varly normal depending on how much is there, it's usually due the bores being slightly out of round from the stress of the head bolts. that's why some people use a torque plate when honing the bores to simulate this stress and get a better finish, it doesn't mean your motor is bad
