Since I've been seeing more threads regarding the teflon on the stock pistons wearing off, I thought I'd post this pic of my #7 piston (damaged) next to my #3 piston.
After a high speed run I noticed a loud ticking coming from my engine. Upon tearing the motor down it turned out the teflon on the #7 piston had wore off on one side. The piston was catching the cylinder wall creating a loud ticking sound, and scoring the cylinder wall. My mods at the time were a 2.80 pulley, full Bassani exhaust, UPR CAI, and Diablo chip. The car had 19,000 miles on it at the time.
