That is from going lean, overheating and causing detonation. I burnt #3 as well but the top of my piston still looks perfect and I have not taken it out to see what the side looks like. I just had a lot of blow-by and the leak down indicated #3 was leaking into the crankcase. 17 psi is getting up there and fuel is critical.
