Piston

[Byron]

I found a chip on my piston, I am trying to attach a pic of it. I am not sure if it is junk, or can I still use it??

 

[Jeremy]

My ? is where did that chip go ?

 

[Blazer X]

I would think it would be ok, not sure though. I would did into the rest of the engine and look for remaining pieces.

 

[Byron]

I have the piece, I took the whole thing apart because the pin for the roto-start got wedged between the conecting rod and the block......F*#ed up and did not put the spring in it, and it fell out.

 

[Jeremy]

I don;t know man that piston looks like it could grenade

 

[oregonmud]

Or scar the sleeve more than it already is. I would smooth the area a little first before trying it.

 

[chrisw]

it going to get real bad i had that happen to my k4.6 and the whole bottom of the piston started chipping all the way to the ports in the piston

I cant tell from pic but, if that is the exhaust side of piston it will effect timing
and the engine may be hard or impossible to tune
