Default Perfectly good P&C's for sale....

Who wants one?



This is cylinder #2 - I think I may have had an injector fail, or clog, or either something metallic got in there and created a hotspot....

I'm opening the bidding at $2500 - c'mon - these are 0.0:1 compression pistons. Be the first to own this new, limited release compression set!

I might try to pawn these off on some drunk Harley guy as better than OEM replacement pistons ....

(man, that'd be cold)

You mention ONE.. do you have a whole set by chance? The car would run funny without a matching set.

Well Brian I am looking to upgrade......, is the ring design for better cooling? These should work well with my 7th injector and my manual boost dialer upper. I'm pushing about 680hp at around 2.8bar.

DonE do you offer a better price?

Like I said, I'm guessing that injector is clogged or failed.

Everything else looks pristine...

Just this one cylinder....

That "clogged injector" that you mention might have come from the Snickers candy bar that I saw A930Rocket drop in your fuel cell at VIR...

DOH!

That sounds like something he would do. He also likes to play with matches around the fuel pumps at the track - have you ever noticed that??? Mumbling stuff like "hey ya'll watch this..."

I'm running TEC3. I got the injectors back yesterday, they all checked out OK.

I did have a lean condition back in December, that could have initiated this failure. My rear fuel pump lost electrical power and that dropped my fuel pressure, which made it run lean. So in all likelihood, that could have led to this...

I've cleaned out the fuel rails. The only thing left to do is check the wiring to injector #2. But since I'm running a batch system, #2 and #5 get fuel at the same time, so since #5 looks good, I'm guessing I won't find an issue there either....

I'll be putting it back together this weekend.

Here's the head from cylinder #2 - got all the heads back yesterday. Turned out great....
