Looks ok? Just ignore the piece of missing piston, I'm sure it's not important!



he didnt ask about his piston, he asked about the cylinder, as in the walls, which look ok to me, but as you can read further down the cylinder could be out of round. So yeah that missing piece of piston isn't important. i asked about the rod knock because i wanted to make sure the crank wasn't trashed on him.

Thanks Shane, sorry didn't see your first post, I've ran the car, smokes like a MF. No rod knock though.

The chunk of piston that is missing did not leave as one piece, the damaged edge is too round.

I bet you will find aluminum splatter on the valves in cylinder 1 and on the turbine of the turbo.
