Not yet, need to do a bit of measuring tomorrow...but I think it was heat related. I have pegged a 2k EGT gauge a few times, but only for 10 seconds or less. When the machine work was done we setup the piston to cylinder clearance a bit on the loose side to account for this.....might not have been enough.

2000k plus EGT's on a regular basis. You need to look at oil quality, ring seal and CP's (timing /angle of piston when peak force applied). What did the other side look like? No coating on the skirts?

80K miles:

CP stuff is ready to rock, but I was waiting on some dry roads to start testing.

Oil analysis never showed any abnormalitys, have been using Delvac 1.

No coating, and the other side of piston was scared up a bit too - but not nearly as bad.

Only 15k on this motor.....
