The hole was right between the valves in the center of the Piston....
Bottom line... I think maybe we took just a tick to much out of the top of
the pistons trying to get Valve Clearance... so now in the Morning when I
call Ross to order a new set I am going to Make sure to have enough Meat to
allow the clearences up front... Also means I get to rebalance the motor...
I think... depends on how much they think we took off.... and if we did
have adequate meat in the surface of the Piston...
Either way it's going to be Cheap compared to how bad it could have been....
