Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pappy" data-source="post: 394549" data-attributes="member: 3278">You are only looking at the intake side of the pistons....the cool side.But, you should be able to look at the cylinder walls on the exhaust sides with a good light and see what kind of shape they are in. Lets say it overheated. (You will be able to tell once the cylinder heads are removed by looking at the water diverters).The exhaust sides will be the first to go, then if the owner does not recognize what is happening fast enough the build up of material coming loose from the exhaust side will build up and force the piston over toward the intake side of the cylinder and damage occurs there as well.</blockquote>
