Trying to think of possibilities that don’t involve cumbustion gas. It’s so hard for me to see that happening from heat in the chamber. Unless the top ring gap was like an inch wide.

Link please.

How bout possibly breaking the second ring land on assembly? Pushing the piston down with the second ring not compressed all the way?

Funny you say that, there was odd markings in the bore that in my tiny little brain were reminiscent of ring flutter.

Probably not enough time to do that. Maybe.

Please do. It would be interesting to hear more ideas.

I thought the same thing. And asked if there was a way we could measure the 2nd ring gap, but it’s in too many pieces.

You know I’m there. I still cannot fathom how the middle ring land breaks out of a piston. I’ve got calls/texts out to guys smarter than me to see what they say. Anyone here on FABO have any ideas? Look close, it torched a second ring, and broke the middle ring land. But didn’t touch the top of...

Post your guess.

Almost exactly what I had to do to my J35 for pan clearance.

Shhhhhhh

@72darjz some Inspiration. I’m sure you’ve seen finnegans 2J powered charger. Mike Finnegan’s Death Metal Charger with a Turbo 2JZ Inline-Six

They run HARD in Miatas. I built a sandrail for a friend of mine and used a j35 mendeola combo. That car is a riot in the dunes. I was sold on the J35 then and knew I wanted to use one in a car.

I’m going for stupid simple. A motion raceworks can, a couple of -10 bungs welded in the valve covers and some hose.

Now that’s cool.
