LMM: Questions on motor removal

Matt, that looks just like mine...Hole with a crack.

Was it #6 also?

I think I keeping hearing #6 but then again I'm most of the time.

mine was lucky # 7

Seems like the last several I have seen have a hole and a small crack. I just wonder if the crack started first, then the fuel slowly eroded away at the crack until it holes it...?

No, mine was #4.

Thanks

Proves once again I'm full of water.

The burn pattern looks different on the holed piston. Would that have caused the hole, or be the result of the hole?

X2

Chads....

Glad you got it part. another hole hmmm chad me you all had holes no cracks in pistons very strange. wait untill you pull that piston i bet the whole side will be blown out. I can allready see all the smeared metal on the wall. Well at least you didint pull it for nothing

If you look there's a crack very fine one

[whitetrash21]

Thanks Wes! I don't even have a pic of my on hole

Couldn't think of another way to put it??? That sounds downright nasty. Put in that context, I dont either..... Probably a good thing too..... :rofl:

I can allready see all the smeared metal on the wall.

I didn't even see that at first

For those that have not had a scratch in the cylinder wall from a cracked piston and/or ring, but have had the "Metal smear" did you/they have to bore the cylinder larger or were they able to clean it up with a hone??

mine would of cleaned up. but i opted to go 40 over for a little more air

 

[SIKDMAX]

We were pretty sure a hone would clean that up.

I honed mine, but it did not completely clean up the cylinder wall. Now that I'm going back in, I'm going .020" over on the bore.

Waiting to hear back from Trippin on a quote and hopefully get my motor to him this Saturday morning at the McRat class.
