Re: Blown piston

It could be a number of things. Was it a hole or worn on one side? Still could have been a valve that caused the problem. Might have been a lack of oil due to a clogged gallery.

Re: Blown piston

well its pretty bad but a lack of oil in that spot was my 1st thought too when I pulled the piston 5 minutes ago but the walls are too good for that I think
