=>on an 8v 1.8L the piston does not rise all the way to the top, so there
=>should be on a engine with 100K miles on it a carbon/brownish deposit
=>(sometimes its simply a decoloration, sometimes there is a deposit there
=>(needs to be delt with when rebuilding engine) on the 2L 3a block 
=>the piston
=>rises almost to the top edge of the chamber, so the deposit ring is very
=>thin.
=>
=>here is a picture.
