What cause scuffing on your piston?

Scuffing on a piston is typically caused by inadequate lubrication, leading to metal-to-metal contact between the piston and the cylinder wall. This can occur due to low oil levels, poor oil quality, or oil breakdown from excessive heat. Additionally, improper clearance between the piston and the cylinder, or the presence of contaminants, can exacerbate wear and lead to scuffing. Regular maintenance and monitoring of oil conditions can help prevent this issue.
