Is their a good generic piston to replace a bad one?
I blew a ring on number two.
It seems the wall made it unscathed but fire blew through the piston edge
and sent ring remnants to beat senselessly against the head.
1. The engine just went through a ring job where three and four were sleeved.
2. Can I buy one piston worth of rings?
3 Can I buy a replacement piston?
4. The second ring seems to have worn extra depth into the wall. Too low
for ring one. I believe this is what caused one to go. Although I do not
actually know which ring went yet. I am assuming.
5 If I hone and replace the rings on number 2 with a new or used piston is
the wear at this depth a sign the wall is tapering outwards at the top?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Number 3 and 4 are still at 155 psi number one is lower at 125 two showed
30 which is why I pulled the head.
Like I said 3 and 4 were sleeved.
thanks
