Tell me the story of the life of these pistons
This is what the pistons look like out of a salvage yard 2008 66,000 mile 6.0L engine I recently purchased. Would you say the carbon/ coking between the ring lands and oil rings came from not changing the oil or overheating?

Are you 100% sure it was a 66k Motor?

Not enough oil changes.

I'm with FFDP.
Those 3500 Savana vans are used mostly as service vehicles. Some companies do a good job of servicing them, others do not. 1. Not enough oil changes (as FFDP said) 2. They lied to you about the mileage. Either way, that's going to require some cleanup. |

My goodness! I've never seen pistons that gummed up. My first thought was that it had been submerged or was being driven around with a blown head gasket.
