Default Need 1 stock piston...
Well pulled Josh's motor and found the news... 3rd back on drives side had something go through the combustion chamber. Piston has a small hole from whatever went though.

Good news is that the cylinder looks like a quick hone will save it.

Un-less the ring land is messed up why change the piston? You are already rolling the dice on a cheap fix so why not just clean up the nicks and put it back in and not wory about the ring pack?

Besides I would be more worried about the rod and or bearing failing in the future then the piston.

Not rolling the dice, this is why I can't just clean it up... Already doing new bearings although they did look just fine. Also will be doing all new rings.

VTACK! kicked in a little bit too hard.


Jason, you and your Dad should give yourself a big pat on the back for helping Josh with his situation, it's been a long time coming.

Major kudos to you, sir.
