The piston ring starts to stick or is completely stuck in its groove and has therefore not been able to seal against the cylinder wall, which has resulted in further, intensive temperature increases in the piston

Piston scoring caused by heavy carbon deposits
Too heavy carbon depositing can cause damage similar to that caused by insuffi- cient lubrication. However, the piston skirt has a darker colour caused by the hot combustion gases that are blown past the piston.
This type of piston damage starts at the exhaust port where carbon deposits can become loose and get trapped between the piston and the cylinder wall.
Typical for this type of piston damage is brown or black discoloration of the piston skirt.
