turbo Grant Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 So was giving the car some shit as usual last night. And it sounded like it dett'd and developed a misfire Nursed it the mile or so back home. Pulled the head off today expecting to find a nice melted/ cracked piston. But found this Was told the engine was built by HRF and I've not seen Pistons like that before in a 4e lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
