Cylinder wall looks great, still has the hatch marks in it from factory. Crank i guess i will have to wait and see. My guess is it will be good sense i caught it early. I ran it only for about 2 miles that way. It sounded like a lifter noise. It did not sound like a rod going or anything like that. The top of the piston where it broke looks fresh. I was going to look into replacing the rod bolts, anybody have a preference? Far as the S/C goes I am putting a stage 3 impeller in it and the bearings and seals look great. It is discouraging to have this happen after 2900 miles.

 

katech rod bolts, if u can find them. That does suck only 2900 miles.......well as i say, if it aint broke, break it.....so u can upgrade!!!!!!!

 

Got any pics of the carnage?

 

Yea, I will get them uploaded here soon. Not too much to look at though. The piston break isn't very big. The impeller looks worse. I am getting the stage 3 impeller for it now.

 

I would say if you want to replace the one piston with an identical OEM one, then just leave it in. If you want to do all eight, it's better to pull it.

Mine ingested a valve. This was exactly what I saw after pulling the head. It was jammed partially through the piston.
