piston and cylinder destroyed photos what now ?

[Jvislawncare]

Got the head off today and found cylinder 2 piston trashed and head has serious pitting , wave eater clips installed so how did this happen ? Looks as though Pv area was impacted , now from photos how much parts am I looking at ? Piston moves as it should but what about all the metal pieces ? Lol

[silver93t]

It is still possible for the power valve to fall down even with the clips. I would contact Mike at pwcengines.com. He has always been fair with me.

The ring land could of been impacted by detonation.

ring spun around and hooked the exhaust port

debris from ring pounded the top of the piston

How does does this happen running lean ? So bottom should be fine u think new diaphragms in carb new piston head and cylinder and piston and I should be good to go ?

[WFO]

Usually happens from a lot of hours on motor, and piston alignment pin fails causing the ring to rotate around and catch the port. I would tear it all down and inspect. Crank may have debris from the damage

Should I replace cylinder it's used or send out to bore out and sleev

[WFO]

needs to be replaced... whether getting a used one or send it out for repair

[Jvislawncare]

What should I do about the other cylinders ? While I am in there already ? Obviously Ill have to take the exhaust apart to get to everything , anything I should change to prevent any more damage ski had 160 hrs

Update ... Removed engine from ski this is the piston damage that I found , no metal pieces in crank that I can see and appears to be fine , pre mix ski had oil lines blocked off but oil line in this cylinder had slid off ???? Issue ? , lean condition or to many hrs on ski ? 164hrs

May be a dumb question but from where does the water leak from? I never noticed water in spark plug or water filled crank I did notice back firing when it was running

Anyway to check for cracks before forking over 800 to replate all three ?
