Ok I got the pictures to the yard and as it turns out they had the right pisron ready to ship.
So hopefully it will be here early next week. I'm not going to order the head gasket just yet until Jason has a "look see"
Hopefully everything will be in workable shape.
Thanks Thunder for keeping up and chiming in after all the ribbing we gave you
This car was driven hard , probably over double digits twice a week for short spells on the Autobahn known as I-684, where if you're not doing at least 80 you get flashed.
In the morning anyways, the evening is a different story, watch out.
Funny thing was it jus goes out from under you from 75 on up, major power band.
This has a BEW cam . At the rime the BHW cam was not available and it was very retarded until Jeff did the tune.
I don't believe the tune had anything to do with the crack.. I believe it was a combinarion of broken tip that made the pit hole you can see.
This probably weakened the piston and the coolant leak obviously didn't help.
