    Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Hemi31, I now have 2 replaced pistons. Yes we thought it was only one at first but once we pulled the head we found that #5 was munched pretty bad as well as the unknown #1.

    This was done to keep it safe and driveable until I can get it forged/stroked as it's my daily and only driver.

    You mean they aren't already in there?! :D

    We're assuming that's what it was.

    Thanks Chris!

    I wished I had his phone number, I'm sure E could have made a few calls to him.. :D

    The kit went on last Sept. so I'd say maybe 50 runs, mostly with a 125..

    Nope.. no backfire, nothing. Made the pass and when I got back in the box to do another I and a few other heard a knock for a bit and it went away. Did an N/A run and when I came back down the return it was sputtering and I then pulled the plugs.
    Should be fine, just keep a sharp eye on the A/F's.

    Oh, and will over 300 miles on it now it's running great. A little more and then it's WOT time!! ;)

    did Erik pull all the pistons to check them or just the 2 that were visibly damaged?
