So noticed this today and dont remember seeing it when i pulled the heads. I know when i pulled the heads fluid went into the cylinders and i soaked it up. Could this be a slipped liner? No steam cleaning on the valves just the reddish hue on the liner.
Engine didnt over heat, no ticking sound when on, just a slow leak about half the resevoir over a two week period. Gaskets showed wear. I know i need to pressure test the block to be certain but if anyone has experience with this please chime in. Idk but the bottom picture is the cylinder by the coolant port and it has the reddish hue as well but not as much. There also appears to be discoloration on the face of the block but i might just be hoping and looking for the best case that its just a gasket problem.
