    Tonight marks the night when the boosted n/a EJ251 block died.

    Well on a happy time for the big build thread.

    You were very close! That's not quite the ring land, but more of the piston crown shattering. I guess the 10psi, was a tad too much.:biggrin:

    No wonder. That top ring is awfully close to the top. They do that for emissions reasons.


    I'm impressed with how clean the piston is.
