What's wrong with my second cilinder

[Tsuchinoko]

Yesterday i took the cilinder head out and when i had a close look to the piston's my second piston compare to the others was very dirty with dry carbon deposits. Wtf is wrong with that cilinder.
Is it the exhaust valve retainers?

Thanks

some cylinders run hotter than the rest, #3 normally on b series engines, posting pictures would help, when you say number 2 cylinder are you counting form left to right if your facing the engine with the hood open? if so thats actually #3 and thats normal.

Yes the second cylinder couting from the flywheel, third cylinder couting from the timing belt.
Is normal? Yes i would post some pics.

Thanks mate

why are you so worried about it? its not really a problem until you start approaching HIGH hp numbers, im making 380bhp and i have no problems...

if you want you cun get yourself an HKS fcon or aem ems, plug 1 EGT or AF probe into each runner on youre header and tune each cylinder individually, thats the cheapest way to fix the problem.
