Default Severe piston damage - check pics
This was a result of a broken timing belt, and then some fun with a valve REALLY hitting the piston, just the one cylinder.

Anybody got a spare piston???!!

Valve had to drop into the cylinder for that to happen, it looks like put the stem into the piston.

New piston? Nah, just get some JB Weld!

What about the rest of the engine, like the rods and crank?

I have a half torn apart '86 944 Turbo engine in my basement. Let me know if you need some parts we can negotiate.

Wow! I thought my piston was bad when I dropped a valve. What RPMs were you at?
