Re: 35 lower end, pistons, please help
Brendan, The hole and notch you refer to are the 'split skirt' feature of these pistons I referred to in my earlier post. You have 4 pistons in backward. Those backward facing pistons have the weaker split skirt on the thrust side of the cylinder, consequently you can expect a catastrophic engine failure should you choose to continue running it like this. Your choice!
Re the missing lock wire; sure, for your own piece of mind you could add it, I mean, why not? you've got the engine stripped to this stage, fix it! Brian |
