Been there with the JEs...
It always happens right at 7K too. They must not have been reinforced skirts. I had it happen to a customers engine last year at the track, cleaned the whole thing out and there were no other issues except plain old piston failure... It doesn't happen often but when it does its serious bad news... Crazy thing is that sometimes I run crazy piston speeds and it doesn't happen... Then on a mild engine it shows up. Now I reinforce all the skirts and use the lightest pins they offer. |
