Nice guess! This is a major bummer:
Only one piston was cracked, but they all have varying degrees of wear on the thrust sides. Enough that I am concerned. But I have already made up my mind to get new pistons. Sad. Plus one of my rods is all discolored on the small end like it was torched. I had one rod "repaired" or refreshed or something when I had it all machined, so I don't know if it's from that or not.
Also, the #1 rod bearing chamfered itself on the rearward edge by rubbing on the crank. My guess there is that when they machined the crank, they kindof forgot to go all the way to the end of the journal. I now have to get the crank checked out. I had seen some metal flecks in the oil a time or two before and didn't worry, but now I know what was doing it. Lame.
This is going to cost way more and take way longer than I thought.
