1.8t cylinder scoring
Hey guys, new here, but not to engines.
Built a 1.8t with 400hp. Runs great, built and tuned well.
Recently due to gas prices I put in lower octane and noticed it not going over 260 km/h (Germany).
Slowed it down a bit drove home. Couple days later it hat this issue where the spark would cut sporadically.
Now I took out the spark plugs and found one in pretty bad shape. All the other ones look great. Also the corresponding cylinder has scoring.
Is the scoring dramatic or could I still run it like this, after finding the reason for the damaged spark plug?
Two last images are healthy spark plug and cylinder wall.
