Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) #6 Cylinder Is Toast

[RPerrenoud]

Well I went down to the shop and pulled the head of tonight #6 piston is toast. I have not figured out where all the piston debris went it must of went into the crankcase because the turbo is fine. I guess there is one bright point it did not wipe out my new PDR HX35 turbo. Cylinder #5 is also starting to scuff the cylinder wall and #2 piston had all the soot burned off of it, I do believe my propane system is out of wack. O by the way I have a propane system for sale if anyone is interested . Well it looks like I will be doing alot of walking and buming rides for awhile.

Propane System?

If your LP system is to blame you would have heard one hella lot of detonation while under way. Has your propane system changed? Better yet, which system are you running? My experience is that propane doesn't influence egt to a great degree. It would take some vicious knocking from detonation to bang holes in those piston crown.



I think your head gasket would have blown out before you were able to damage the pistons.
