Nobody has mentioned this "little" CRACK, and that scoring is just plain ugly! DD

Could it be hydrolock damage?

Could become a candidate for the line-up on a Seattle wharf, headed to China so they can make more quality parts for us

That looks bad G.M. I know you will have that '36 back on the road soon. I keep buying up engines too just for instances like this.

So GM - are these pictures from TWO different engines . . . or only one? I'm hoping only one engine gave up it's ghost. That piston sure does look like detonation killed it -- the cylinder -- appears it has had some issue for awhile.

Good luck building another engine - seeing those pictures sure sucks!
