That sure is dirty (short of a melt down) but its the things that are flawed while in operation that give it a for me...or possibly a depending on who you are.

For instance, that piston on mine was in the ZZ4 355HP crate. I was running that at 4500+ RPM consistantly the day prior to pulling it. It was in that condition during use. One of the many reasons my leak down tests was not good. But, all in all still able to pull the rubber.

I am grateful nothing else happened.


Oh, thanks for contributing.
