Default Link to the american supra with melted piston post??????

Hi all,

Wondered if anyone could remember the title to that post for the american supra with a 'vanished' piston that was up around about a week ago - i've had a look around but can't see it

Just that i'm with WRC Technologies at Silverstone and thought i'd run it past the engine builder here

Cheers

Will

Cheers for the link guys, i ran it past both our engine builder and our dyno/mapping bloke - they both said it looked like a manufacturing defect but without knowing whether they were forged or cast pistons they couldn't say. Cast pistons are easy to get defects in, but forged are a different kettle of fish...
