Default Oil control rings not working?

Inside the stroker head.


All six intake tracts wet with oil.

Clearly improperly assembled?

NA, <7k miles, broken in on dyno after UPREV tune, oil changed with literally 17 miles & under an hour on the dyno followed by 1k changes until 3k miles.

Builder trying to blame detonation for this and the bearings sounding like marbles in the spin cycle.

Builder is saying detonation.

Cylinder 2 was viewed through a scope and appears to have lost a piece of the top. The crank is ok, the rod is ok.

I will have a picture from the scope later.
