Big Jake 18 #3 Posted April 13, 2013 The piston was black in color with light carbon. That way I thought maybe bad head (sand hole) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fordiesel69 271 #5 Posted April 15, 2013 If it was lean the EX valve will burn. We burned one up on a K181 having it too lean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
