FuckedFrontPiston
This is probably what was causing the clank-clank-clank sound while coming home from Dana and Andrzej's.

GettingFuckedRearPiston
The rear piston isn't nearly as bad, but definitely on the way to the same result.
|
ScoredFrontCylinder
Looking at the rear wall of the front cylinder. Plenty of nasty scoring that is deep enough that you can feel it when you run your finger over it. The seven light patches near the base of the cylinder is where the piston left pieces of it's skirt on the cylinder wall. Yeesh.
|
FrontPistonRearSkirt
Scuffing at mid skirt and the bottom edge of the skirt. Several trails of individual bits of contaminate carved into side of the piston. Not deeply, but evident in the horizontal pattern on the piston skirt. To the lower right, you can actually see the the bit of contaminate embedded at the end of its path.
|
FrontPistonFrontSkirt
More overall scuffing, but still minor compared to last time.
|
FrontPistonRightBoss
Right wrist pin boss for from piston. The wear on the top is not just burnishing. You can feel a slight lip with your finger. Note that front connecting rod sideplay was infinitely evil, somewhere around 0.135".
|
FrontPistonLeftBoss
Definite wear (easily evident to touch) at upper portion of boss. Note that front connecting rod sideplay was infinitely evil, somewhere around 0.135".
|
RearPistonRearSkirt
Some overall scuff wear along with individual striation tracks.
|
RearPistonFrontSkirt
Almost no scuffing, but lots of striation tracks. The dark bits aren't dirt or carbon. You can't feel them with your finger nor can you scrape them off with your finger nail. I don't know what they are.
|
RearPistonRightBoss
Slight burnishing, but not detectable with your finger. Note that rear connecting rod sideplay was reasonable, somewhere around 0.020".
|
RearPistonLeftBoss
Definite wear at upper side of boss. Easily detectable with your finger or finger nail. Note that rear connecting rod sideplay was reasonable, somewhere around 0.020".
|
FrontCylinderTopFrontWall
No obvious wear with some crosshatching visible throughtout. Small bright dots appear dark without the flash, but I can't feel them. Pits in the wall?
|
FrontCylinderRearTopWall
Vertical striations in mid-wall appear to be chemical stain and don't appear to be wear marks, but I could be wrong. Small bright dots appear dark without the flash, but I can't feel them. Pits in the wall?
|
DarkOrBrightDots
Closeup of the small bright dots that appear dark without the flash. These I could detect with my finger nail. but I couldn't budge them. Pits in the wall? I suppose I could tell with a dental pick, but I'd rather not try.
|
FrontCylinderBottomFrontWall
Some burnishing down low near the spigot opening, but otherwise clean.
|
FrontCylinderBottomRearWall
Slight scuffing at base of spigot, but otherwise clean.
|
RearCylinderTopFrontWall
Looks pretty clean.
|
RearCylinderTopRearWall
Some evidence of verticle striations, but I can't detect them with finger or finger nail. Another chemical stain appearance that could also be minor wear.(?)
|
RearCylinderBottomRearWall
Some scuff down low near spigot opening, but otherwise clean. Single vertical striation in center is not evident to touch.
|
RearCylinderBottomFrontWall
Wear down low and about 3/4 way up the wall. None of it evident to the touch.
