gasoline has an auto ignition point of 475*F and ive seen a glow plug being heated outside an engine and that ****** was cherry red probally like close to 1000*F so im pretty sure that wouldnt work

so you paid 120 dollars for 469 dollar pistons and they weren't perfect go figure this is america ya get what ya pay for ... fyi he did think those pistons were still good cause all it did was spin a rod bearing .. and the detonation is prolly from when he got a whack *** xenocron basemap that barely made his car drivable ... pig rich at idle and lean as ---- anything past 4k we then put a vafc back in it and the car ran awesome for 6 months and then it spun a rod bearing..

Which makes you a ------- tool box if you can pull pistons, package them and ship them without EVER LOOKING AT THE PISTONS them selfs. how the ---- do you do that.

there are 4 of them, he mangaed to pull them and pack them and not look at them at all?. Dont make exuses for your boyfriend.
