I took the head off my 99 xpl 957, and the rear piston was completely crumbled away like tiny stones. On good advice I've stripped it down further removing the cylinders over the piston, and I've found that the con rod is completely bent, the cylinder is scored slightly, and it's thrown the needle bearings and piston pin. I understand many things could cause this including overheating right? How could I have avoided this?
I don't know a lot about engines, but I'm guessing it would need a recon crank, piston kit, rebore and new head minimum? Is there anything else I should price up?
Also how can I ensure this never happens again?
Any help greatly appreciated, cheers guys
