I took the head off yester day, pistons and liners look in good order, however there is a bit of debris in number two cylinder, embedded into the piston. The location of this is at the edge and I'm worried it may have some effects when I start to use it on a daily basis. I've got some pics here:

It looks OK, and looks like its been there some time, I encountered similar on my brothers Punto engine a while back. You could try cleaning them off, though its difficult to avoid getting crud down the gap between piston and bore, if you smear grease into and around the gap with the piston at TDC it should catch the bits and can be cleaned when the piston is moved down again. I found that WD-40 and clean rags got most of the deposits off, just be careful to get every trace out of dirt out of the engine.

Cheers, Mike
