i also see white stuff around the end of the valve seat,and looks like a lot of rust on the freeze plug,strange since they are brass when they leave mercury.

I think that's a head bolt washer you are seeing.

Yes, that's a head bolt.
|
could a small amount of reversion,be causing this???
|
Possible, but it is on all 4 sides. And wouldn't it be salt then? I'm still thinking some sort of fuel additive.
|
Do a bleed down test, my bet is reversion and leaky valves. I have seen this on several 525's with high bleed down numbers, some over 50% with less than 150 hours on them.

I finished breaking down the engine. There was some salt residue on the exhaust runners. Maybe it is reversion an just something in the water.

Have not done yet, but I am now in the tiresome habit of pulling and testing them every winter, even with the new Hardins. So far they have been good, just one pin hole.
