Cracked piston pin bosses

Post by Jethro » Wed Nov 24, 2010 8:50 pm

Not sure if this is a common find or not, I searched the forum and couldn't find anything about it. I hope these pics come through. What does the 5 inside of this standard piston mean?

Hi,

No info about the 5, but I have seen these cracks more then once, sometimes (mostly) they will run to the piston floor. The strangest thing is that the cracked piston is found mostly om the right side by me.

Sure LM, I'll get it in the mail some time next week. Any significance?, or just wanting to take a gander? So one of the pistons from this engine has both bosses cracked and the other piston has just a small hairline in one boss. I am assuming that these pistons are useless. What causes the cracks?

I would really like to look at both pistons for sure.
Were the pins difficult to remove?. ..........lm
