No damage to the cylinder wall or head, and just a couple minor dings
on the piston crown. Lucky me.

That's a lot of rust on that head. Other one look like that?
That's what I thought......certainly makes think about whether this is
common with I/O's. Never owned one, so I don't know. I believe he said
he fogged it, didn't he?
Not the ones I see. *But then I'm in "trailer boating in lakes" land here in
Raleigh. *Might be sitting in a slip in salt water does it. *There is going
to be one or two cylinders sitting with the exhaust valve open when the
engine is shut off just about everytime. *If the boat sits in water then the
humidity is going to remain high through the exhaust system so it will get
high in the cylinder as well. *It's not specific to an i/o though, any boat
with an inboard marinized auto engine is going to be in the same situation.
