Hi GC.
Last days I stripped one of my 1585 Fiat TC engine from 131.
I bought it last year on a scrapyard so I wasn't dissapointed about his condition.
Two of four pistons from this engine were badly damaged. First of them had a broken rings, a second had a broken land between top and second ring.
GC, could you tell me a reason why this piston could had a broken land ? I think it was detonation.
An engine was fully stock from passenger car.
Sincerely.
Piotrek.
