Default Burning down pistons


This is the side that I'm talking about you can see that the snap ring is still in there the other side is the one that came out but there's no damage to the opposite side I'll post a picture of it also

There is a little bit of damage around where The wrist pin goes in on t his side and comes out.. but there's no scarring on the piston on either side the only place I have any scarring in The jug itself is where the wrist pin came out of course rub the cylinder wall on the other side the burnt looking sad there's a place but nowhere near as bad as the wrist pin side

Start a new thread over in the Engine, or Panhead subforum. You will get the feedback you are looking for.
This is not the section for technical, unfortunately

Welcome again..as mentioned, …Questions would probably get more comments in the proper area using the dropdown menu under Forums in the menu above.

It’s possible if a Community Team member sees your post, they may move it to a better area.

Or you can copy and paste it. May get pretty confusing with two threads with same title.


since you have another hello thread, the Community Team will probably move it.

Pan head area.

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/panhead-64/

My thoughts here probably would be best..Engine department.

@Panhead76 I have moved this thread from the Welcome section to the Panhead section as you will get better responses to your question in this section.
