So what caused the piston lands to let go???? Detonation from what factors???
It seems odd that the car ran good all last year and now it let go with nothing being changed.
I'm interested in what lead up to the damage.
You can build a new solid engine but if you don't learn what caused the carnage,
you could end up in the same boat again.
What boost level, octane, RPM, cylinder # w/bad piston, Engine temps, Air temps, A/F ratio at WOT, timing, etc...
Anyone else have a guess as to why it killed the piston?
