i thought it might be interesting to see where the A series pistons get melted most often.

your standing in front of the car ,and looking down on the piston top,

see the top of the piston as a clock face ...

12 o clock is the point nearest the scuttle/windsceen . 6 o'clock is the point nearest the grill .

pick a number !

i'll do another poll for what cylinder it is too .

regards
robert

Nitrous meltdown. Melted spark plug electrodes probibly promoted pre ignition. Problem only evident on one cylinder which might be the symptom of something else.

 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'...

What difference would the time have on when people melted pistons?

if you know its going to be 2 o'clock, you can pack up and go home at 1:30 and save the engine!

No 4 piston, 3 o'clock position Robert. Have voted.

Rich.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.
