I was told that this stamping on the piston head means that this engine has been bored out,and that normal parts would not fit.

Sounds like you have some bad valve guides and seals so your looking at a valve job. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. zoomersmom New User Sep 7, 2009, 7:21 AM Post #3 of 4 (1214 views) Re: engine smokes Sign In ok that answers the first part,now for the second part.
