1999 xcv70 What is that on the Cylinder walls

I lost compression in #2 cylinder and so I took a bore scope and looked inside. It almost looks like the walls have rust on them.

What do you think it is? I am concerned/perplexed

Re: 1999 v70xc Lost valve; need new head

thanks for the offer of the head; I appreciate it, I will have to wait until I know more. I have a friend that has access to a video probe, so Monday we will look into the cylinder and see if there is any damage there. Then I can decide what to do.

1999 v70xc no compression; new head?

I have no compression in #2 cylinder: think I lost a valve. Had someone scope the inside and the walls and piston look ok.

My questions are:

Where can I find a rebuilt head

How hard is it to pull the engine if I decide to change out the whole thing.

Thanks in advance

Re: 1999 v70xc Can I weld the oil pan & not hurt the electro

There is a "box" in the way that leaves only a couple of inches at best between the box and the bolt. So I haven't drilled anything yet, because there is no room for the drill. I have not heard of an easy out socket before....Does it go on the outside of the rounded bolt?

1999 v70xc Can I weld the oil pan & not hurt the electronics

The oil drain plug has been rounded and I can't get it off. So I am thinking of welding a piece of metal to it so I can loosen the bolt. My question is, Can I weld without hurting the electronics of the engine? Or am I going to have to take the oil pan off. :|
