Well, I finally know what a bad cylinder/piston looks like. Guy that tore it down said this was the result of BAD GAS. Unbelievable.

Wow, that one is TOAST! Bad fuel, especially with the alcohol now blended that causes water in the gas much more than before, is a real problem. I use the BP Amoco fuel only if it reads pure unleaded on the pump. I'm not certain that is an iron clad guarantee, either.

Jim,

Thanks for posting, gives the rest of us who run the big motors some more information. Like Steve I try to run only high octaine non-blended fuels but it's no guarantee against getting a bad tankfull....

Hope you'll be up and running again soon....
