Carb build up on new engine

Post by SpeedL# »

I was at an offroad park. I got stuck in a large mud hole and ended up getting mud inside the engine :brickwall: Believed it came in through the rear main seal. When i lost oil pressure I turned off the engine and was able to get towed home. I tore the engine completely down for inspection and a really good cleaning. The pistons and valves have a lot of carb build up on them. # 6 piston is the worst and the build up gets less as you move up to #1 piston. Any ideas what would cause this build up? The motor has about 7,000 miles it.

I did not assembly the motor so I do not know what valve springs were used.
