Carbon from the combustion process.
Alex, no bent rods.. A little preventative measure before dialing it up..
I don't have an "S" shaped rods to show you in this build..

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..
