ahhh ----!.....cast pistons are gay....**PICS ADDED**
so yeah...this morning i figured that i would throw a new piston in my car cuz its really starting to bother me, and i cant stand it being slow and not being able to rape on it...
so i pull it into the garage this morning, do a quick compression test... 180ish-210-200ish-100... little odd that #1 was at 100psi, but the motor was cold and i cranked it a shitload of times... #4 is what really concerns me seems to be a little on the low side (checked it twice)...
so i pull the head, take a quick look at the valves, everyhing looks ok so lets pull a piston starting with #1 (90psi)... PISTON RING OWNAGE!!! not only are the ringlands broken all to ---- the ring is broken! explains why it had less compression than the last time i broke one. (pics later)... so while im in here lets take a look at #4 piston right? everything looks ok...wait i see a crack, then i pull a 120deg chunk of ringland off the piston well this is going well hell lets pull #2 out also... guess what? yeah a crack just like #4 but just one crack that i can see so no chunk of ringland wants to come out...
total ringland/piston ownage = 4
pics are coming...
