somethings broken rather than it's melted that's for sure

RST's tend to do that when there run lean, normally when held flat out for a long time.

sumit must of come through on the inlet and crushed it againest the head, whats the head, valves, spark plug look like? you found the missing piece?

had another look and can you take a better pic of the little bits of "stuff" that seem to speckle the pistons

it oculd be that the turbo broke and then bits of it found their way into the inlet and the damage is from there

but if it's det you must have heard about it

tried to take some pics of the little bits on the piston but couldnot get them clear enough to put on all i can say is they look like small pieces of melted metal may be

Looks like a pretty typical det meltdown.

Caused by: Bad tune, or bad maintainance.

I've got a paperweight just like that at work.

My money is on it being killed by det

not sure how it used to run i bought it like this.The guy i had it off said it went like f**k and ran well before it stopped on the duel caridgeway lol.

When it is running how can i stop this happening again? does it just need setting up by somone who knows what they are doing like carl norris ? ect.
p.s mouse comment was very funny
