Hank,

I see you scraped and cleaned the area of damage. Was it blackened with carbon? Mistaking damage from detonation as corrosion or other such causes is a very common mistake. Did you see traces of moisture? was the cylinder rusty? corroded? As I said, from the limited pictures seen, this looks like classic detonation damage.
