Punctuation is the difference between 'I helped my Uncle Jack off his horse' and 'I helped my uncle jack off his horse.'

cracked a piston
so that explains it, compression pressure getting through the piston but crack small enough that oil wasnt coming back into the combustion chamber.
Rest of the motor was really really healthy which i find very upsetting.
Dont know if its just a weakness with the GQ pistons or detonation from high-ish boost or the LPG system.
gotta do some investigating about building a tougher motor.

Ouch, I would be putting a full set in there, or at least get the existing ones crack tested. Never seen a pootrol do that before with my eyes, but they are still relatively young as far as being a mechanic goes, I guess anything is possible.
