^^Ditto. Looks like its got warm, and melted the crown of the piston.
Never seen it like this though. Could it be some sort of chemical reaction? Would be interesting to take the piston out and try and scrape it off.
Kindest Regards,

I have heard that leaky injectors can causing this type of problem but apart from that i dont realy know, certainly got hot though.
