What's the warranty on the pistons??
BC
To recap for everyone: On the eve
of the Geezer Drags I drove my car to Rich K's house to
socialize a little. The engine started to miss, which was
pinpointed to #4 cyl. Discovered that the neg. electrode had
been hit by something and bent over. There was also a bit of
a noise in the engine.
Since I am now retired as of last week, I
took time today to pull the head off. Discovered that about
1.5" of the top ring land had broken off of the piston. So
looks like the engine is coming out. This is disappointing
in that I probably only have about 1500 miles on a fresh
rebuild. And it has only seen 5K rpm a hand full of times
in that time. The pistons were new KB Hyper-eutectic's.
Somewhat surprisingly there was no debris
left in the cyl., and no apparent damage to the head. Still
need to check the make sure that the valve seats are not
damaged. I'm attaching a picture.
