I will be taking apart a damaged engine in about a week or so, it has 3 good pistons, if you can wait about a week, I can send you a piston.

I have heard of couple incidents with using jwt, but I have been using it for about 4 years now and haven't had any problems what so ever, maybe a bit too much boost and a little too lean

But it would be nice if Tru tell us wht happen lol

Sorry for the delay..! I got many trouble with my damn PC!

So here we go.. You can't imagine whats hapenned with my DET! You really can't! A friend of mine removed the spark plug to change them when I was working on the back of my pulsar.. One little bolt who hold the coilpack on the head fall in the spark hole but my friend didn't saw it. Guess whats happened when we started the engine? Yeah.. one piston and one head broken..! That's why I need one piston... So email me to gimme your price.! I only need one, not four :)

Thanks pulsar gtr I will take one for sure! Just gimme your price by email! [email protected]

Thank god it wasn't from detonation, but that must really suck. That's why no one works on my engines, but me. I mean my friends are all KA24 lovers, so they don't even know where to start. Good luck on the repairs.....

Make sure you get the right "grade" piston Tru :) It's stamped on the top of the block what the bore's grade is.

dude, that sucks. you didnt even get to blow it up doing something fun and illegal! i hope it all works out for you.

by the way, ive got a bolt missing from one coil pack, but it works fine and my engine hasnt exploded so i doubt it fell in.

u gotta grade these dam pistons too ?

I'd imagine u checked to see that the damaged piston came up to the same level at the deck as the other 3 ? If it smaked the head hard enough to 'break' it, connecting rod might be bent
