Pistons damaged again

[Alan Schultz <alan@andysnet.net>]

Ken,

I deleted your original message but noted that you had not changed your 
oil filter for a very long time. I would say that the oil flter became 
clogged with debris which then caused the by-pass valve to open allowing 
the debris to flow thoughout the entire engine. If the by-pass didn't 
function as it should, there would be little or no oil lubrication in 
the engine. Could easily have caused the failure you describe.
