  1. I talked to a couple other people about it, their response was that they thought the piston was loose in the bore ( bore was oversized for the piston) allowing it rock excessively which led to the fatigue failure.
  2. Those are the only things I can really think of as well. It either was contacting something.... unlikely if there weren't marks found anywhere... or perhaps the clearances were off and it was allowing the piston to rock in the bore. Or..... the skirts of the pistons were too short for the rod length and stroke and it was side loading the piston excessively. With the longer rod it tends to reduce the side loading but the skirts on these are shorter from what i know.
  3. I'm sure Wiseco can tell you exactly why the pistons failed, as the manufacturer and designer, I am sure they have seen all types of failures and understand why the pistons would see a failure in the method that they have. Sorry to see this Hussein,
  4. Would about right behind the rear right tire. next to the fender.
  5. Yea with all the weight you have up front with that thing I would definitely want the battery in the trunk. If the battery is gone you could easily use that space to build a nice shroud around the fliter.
  6. you might want to try to reroute that filter to the inner fender area. Seems like you are out of room in the engine bay and that filter looks pretty crowded.
  7. Just keep it together, I was hoping to actually see this thing this year. ;-)
  8. Looking much more professional with the AN swivel fittings over the copper elbows. How much power should the 2200 kg/h meter correctly?
  9. I chose company colors when it was founded in 2006. Never driven a 10 Valve, but been driving 8v's as long as i could reach the pedals.
  10. Confused how both of these are in the same thread.
