I could not believe it. The upper half of the piston seperated from the lower half. The moving part still had one ring still on it so no dammage was done to the cylinder walls. They still have all of the cross hatch marks from the rebuild. Yes this motor only has 37k on it after a rebuild by PO. It looks like the piston casting has some serious voids that caused a weak spot.
I need some advice. Since there was no dammage to the block, and only #6 piston blew, should I replace all pistons, con rods, rings and bearings. The bearings look good. Can I just reuse them. Is there anything else I should do while I am in there? BTW its a 12/74 F engine in a FJ55. The pistons have a 050 on the top. Does that mean it is 50 thou over?
Thanks
