I would suspect that Fred wasn't inherently meaning the piston itself struck the plug, but that the piston is the moving part that would cause the strike. Yes, it's quite possible for things like a b

This is a nasty subject around here, after just getting the spit we found that a part of the air cleaner bolt had gone to the #2 piston, cracking it and a chunk of piston wall. So was the start of re
