Burnt piston in engine
Well...
Some of you do not know...but I blew my engine in my 99 GT about a month ago. I just now tore down my factory engine. Piston #7 has a nice chunk missing out of it. About half the cylinders were full of coolant when I pulled the heads. I still haven't determined what caused the piston to burn. The burn is underneath the intake valve which is strange as well. I wasn't spraying at the time the engine popped and what few times I have sprayed I was only running a 100shot with 93 octane.
Any ideas?
I will be getting rid of some good parts soon...If you name it, I have probably got it.
Good PI heads, sensors, etc.

RE: Burnt piston in engine
how many times have you sprayed befor? and were you tuned? becuase the 4.6 should have lasted a long time if it was tuned good. the 4.6s are strong motors as long as they are tuned right.
