Carbon from the combustion process.
Alex, no bent rods.. A little preventative measure before dialing it up..

With some spare time, here are some pictures with the pistons taken off the rods.
The picture shows the rods and rod bolt/nuts that are to be removed. I use rubber-bands to keep the rods up to prevent case damage.
Once the rod nuts are removed, the upper rod half is pulled out of the case/spigot. I use a magnet to roll the lower rod half/cap. Usually the bearing will stay in the cap.
The bearing journal is exposed. It is in great shape..
