piston wash

[chrisdoc0608]

got my ski back togather today, i had been having a problem with a leaking head gasket among other things i did. anyway, i ran the ski on the hose for abt 2-3 min. and checked all my connetions ect... to make sure that it would be good to go when i get back to school. so after running it i pulled the plugs to see if there was any water intrusion, and i noticed that one piston was begining to get a wash on it (rear piston) and the front was still shiny like it was before i got the head shaved, there werent any water droplets on the piston but i just wanted to know if there should have been a wash on both pistons after running it on the hose for such a short time.

I had a problem like that with a friends ski I built, actually the sleeve dropped and was letting water in!:261:

so you think that it is still letting water in? it doesnt sputter or smoke out of the head pisser like it did before. just exhuast smoke comes out when no water is going through it from the pipe pisser which i would expect be the pipe fills with smoke when no water is in there.
