Every piston in this one is cracked also lol. Ran fine, just was getting compression in the radiator. I knew the stock pistons wouldn't last but I woulda thought it woulda had some crank case pressure showing its face at that point.

This one came to shop with a misfire n customer didn't know why n we started into it n found dropped valve right away…. I'm being told the piston cracking is a fuel timing issue causing excessive heat from delayed firing so idk

Getting compression in radiator would suggest possible injector cup leakage and /or cracked head from what I'm learning

I know what's caused mine to crack pistons. Lots of fuel and air on stock pistons and I don't like getting passed. I haven't checked liner protrusion but more than likely a liner has dropped and wiped out the head gasket. Could be a cracked head but I threw it in the scrap so I didn't waste time to check it. Just gonna counter bore, new liners and slap some steel pistons in. Kinda like going from hornady to lapua brass lol
