Big G. Yes SRP, can a piston really crack just from too much boost? That would explain why I never hear detonation when this happens.

Ron, I know... but the wall looked bad last time too, and it was just streaked aluminum. Well see. If I clean it and my fingernail catches, I might pull it out to bore. Might get a new set of pistons too if the SRPs won't handle boost. They are forged though, strange. I don't see how one forging could be weaker than another.
