I was just going to change Oil Pan Gasket, but they I found two broken pieces of Piston #6.
Only #6 has failed all other piston shirts and tops look good.
Has anyone ever seen a piston failure where the skirt broke off in two pieces and piston above the broken shirt started to cave in.
Overhaul Data-plate says pistons were standard at Rebuild back in 1972.
I took a quick measurement of the cylinder #6 with my caliper and got 3.248, there is no step wear at top of any of the cylinders.
Anyone have any take out Standard Pistons they could share I only need one?
Still looking, one of the great guys on SS send me one, but Unfortuneally it was not a Standard I need one good used STANDARD PISTON.
