P.S. petrol or diesel?

Diesel

Like the sound of a V8 but not the thought of a disco



--- Quote from: "rollazuki" ---Id find out what the cause was?


Dont forget you can melt/crack/overheat a piston if an injector is leaking/spraying incorrectly

I wasn't aware of that so will get them checked if I use them again

Devon-Rover:
Ouch that looks nasty.

I don't like the look of the scoring on the bore of the cylinder next to that one either!

IMHO another engine is the way to go unless you can rebuild that one cheaply and rectify what went wrong.

It only cost me about 50 quid to put new rings in and also one new piston, holne the bores, change the valve stem oil seals and a headgasket on the landy.

As the pajs are far better it should be far cheaper  :wink:

I know of a chap near new who has a zook with a hole in the piston. It'll cost 40 quid just for a replacement.  :shock:

Honestly good luck with getting it back on the road.

Bulli:
double bum!

life is never straightforward. Rolla is spot on(dont get a BIGGER head)

I wouldnt chance that head as a replacement engine would no doubt cost less than having the head checked out!

hope you get it sorted.

Evilgoat:
I'd be thinking about the engine dude. The damage on the next cylinder is on the same side as the serious damage to that piston. Maybe a cooling failure or its boiled the water away and nuked the other piston too. If I was doing ti myself I'd be having both pistons out before going further.

Boggert:
Go for a recon or Second hand engine, as long as the rest of the car is worth it, which I suspect it it.
