I'v looked at pictures and what others have said about how to read a blown piston to find the cause.
this is what I found when I pulled the piston out of my sks
the intake side skirt is scarred, multiple lines across a 2" span, from my understanding this is from lack of oil
the crown broke on the intake side, from what I'v read this is caused by a leaking head gaskit? this also could have been the cause of the lines on the skirt, however the line arnt deep.
the exhaust skirt has similar scarres as the intake side
and I found both wrisp pin clips imbeded in the top of the cylinder, what could cause these to come out of the grooves?
Im trying to figure out what caused it to blow the mag side again, after just 32 miles.. I had just replaced the cylinder, piston, wrist pin, and bearing.. all head gaskits.. and dont feel like throwing more money at it just to have it blow again (going to rebuilt top and bottem this time around)
Im thinking it may have been caused by a faulty oil pump?
