LMM: lmm piston inspection

[adrenaholc1]

Does anyone see any issues with this piston?

Looks like it started melting in the center of the bowl, and is that a crack running through the bowl?


Sent from wait, where the hell am I?

Looks normal, I say run it

Where did the deep gouge inside the bowl come from, and x2 how did you melt the piston in the center of the bowl?

Sorry gotta get some sleep, but i think this motor is going back together. This is the same piston..no crack just a scrape from a borescope camera. Very interesting formation on the piston however. Thanks for the replies and good night.

Ok, I was kidding. I wouldn't actually put that back in my motor.

this l has just went through 2 turbos back to back. Everthing points to debris going through the exhaust as the nozzles in the charger have exploded/shattered. I still got another head to pull yet but im not seeing where any material is coming from these cylinders

Got the other head off and no sign of damage. Grade C's and ARP's on the way.

IS that metal debris on the #1 piston?
