I pulled the head today to read piston wash after cleaning them yesterday. old pics in this thread.
Today i noticed a small hunk of the piston on the piston dome is missing on exhaust port side.
My question is about/ruffly how much longer is this going to last me? I have approx 4-6weeks left for my summer riding and i will be taking a break from the water and moving to Greenville,SC. Just would like it to last that long, before i send it out to be matched up with another piston set. Their is zero scoring on the cylinder, and the only noticeable mark is what looks like a carbon/deto roughness at the very lip of the cylinder in the squish area that the piston never really touches.. I plan on testing compression next chance i get.
my two concerns are where did that hunk of metal end up? out the exhaust or in the crankcase. (i realize you cant answer that, lol). this missing hunk damage is down to the ring.. What are the chances b/c of this extra ring exposure is the ring going to get cough on the porting, and shake rattle and roll.
What in the world would cause this? Extreme Deto? the chemicals in the carb cleaner i just soaked them in? or just tuff luck. :raincloud:
