You fail at life, and your reply has nothing to do with what I'm asking.

I meant excessive piston to wall. Excessive play causes uneven piston shift, and possible scoring if the skirt dragging along the cylinder, you can check the wear in the cylinders with an inside micrometer, they'd be oval shaped as well.

I was referring to BAC, not you :8

He's been hit too many times to notice such subtly, you should have direct quoted him :S

maybe youve been hit too many times? he clearly qouted BAC, not sure why you would think he was talking to you.

What was the piston to wall clearance? How do the bores look?

The pistons look reusable, but if they are binding at all when you rotate them on the wristpins then it is the PISTON that is damaged, and not the pin. Hardened steel > aluminum.

It's hard to read the little text when I've been stoned all afternoon. :S

yup


but he said it first

Too little piston/wall clearance is much more catastrophic in a turbo app than too much.

Re: WTF is wrong with my engine V. A20 built engine go boom.
 

both are catastrophic in every way turbo or not.
