Stole this from another forum, don't know any background or history unfortunately but it is an impressive bit of failure!

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

Not sure what the engine was - I doubt it was in a Mni, the picture came from a rallying forum.

Is that the new 1:1 low comp ones? On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

I know a story where an alcohol burning blown drag car popped a head off an intake valve during a run, normally this results in complete destruction as the spark lights up the entire inlet tract including the fair few litres of charge in the supercharger. On this occasion nothing bad happened other than a slight drop on power, the head had got nipped up against the spark plug and closed the gap then got jammed up the port! Lucky!

It is not a Subaru piston. There are vague remnants of 4 distinct valve cutouts. Subaru pistons arent like that. 9.85 @ 145mph

Omega Subaru pistons do have four cutouts, they look like those to me and the rods aren't standard.
