As the only fault with the engine was a neat hole in the center of the piston no other marks or damage.

Now running 330mm/Brembo 4 pots up frunt, 4x4 setup at the rear, seem to do the job now, going by the mapping Mark and I did back in October, numerous 170+ runs I seem to remember.
Too many roundabouts on the A404

i've seen the piston, and as mark said, there is no explanition other than overheating.
The piston is near new, i.e no marks on it, no DET, just the hole bang in the middle of it, where the oil spray jet should of been facing.
Just a question mark,
it wouldnt have been a faulty piston? or are the xray and inspected before shipping?
Oh BTW Loom will be posted today, could you give me you postal address again please mate

I have a customer on the fatiuqe department on a top F1 engine company and I will be getting him to look at the piston in about 1 month to see what he comes up with,
The only thing we changed for the last top speed run and 1 year later was the turbo which added about 60hp to it this could have been the bit that put the cylinder temp up and the crown temp above the safe limit if the spray jet wasn't perfectly placed.

The piston overheated and melted no other damage, These pistons have a 8mm heigher pin so there is less space under the crown for the oil to hit its target, So you have to be more accurate,
The pistons are the same as Rods but with a thicker crown so stronger.
