Could also be some kind of scratch. But a photo of a not so good screen is often misleading.

Valve seems more likely. Is that the cylinder the spark plug shown above came from?

Well, unfortunately this means engine out - needs to be investigated further.

I already passed that point...



Here's a couple pics along the way:











The friction disc is not too bad, but worn asymmetrically, so probably I'll just get a new one. Hopefully it's sold separately.



Leaks..



Look at that mess around the AOS. Probably the O-rings got brittle in the past 22 years. Or it was just a crappy design in the first place.
