Default Let's See Your Broken Pistons!!!!!!!

Here: I'll start:









For some reason, I think Toyota pistons suck! These were the *first* two I broke, and that was about 9 months ago, since then I've gone through 4 more pistons, at least they're only like $15 each from NAPA.....

Jesus, Rolla1990, why bother posting when you already put a picture of my piston up? No, seriously though I think they all break exactly the same cuz that's a carbon copy of the way my 1990 4a-fe pistons keep breaking.

Bad pics but you can still see...they are from an 1st gen ZC. The ring lands literally fell into my hands when I dropped the piston out:
