yeah that was first on my list before i resurfaced it, id hate to have seats drop or worse (which i may say iv never seen before, especially on some of the yota motors iv abused and tried to kill) i believe the pitting was caused by a dry-rotted o-ring in very poor condition causing that one cylinder to run lean. would have it fixed by a shop but welding and filling the pitted area i fear would fatigue the head more thus making it less usable
