So is this a side-pinned or top-pinned piston? Pic 2 it sure likes a top-pinned piston with that oval slot below the rings where the top pin would be bent inwards at manufacture. And it looks as if the whole (top?) pin is still in place or at least most of it?
I don't see any hole in the piston top to reveal where the pin came out. ? Di you ever find any parts loose in the motor-any chance it was a needle bearing instead of a pin?
That was some tough luck to go down right before the prop testing, but you sure probably saved some major $$$$ by playing it safe.

Post some better pic's. If it isn't the pin something else got in and thru. That indent is a clue. Look a another piston thats out and see how long the pin is down where it's bent over.
John, just a question....Was this the first time you'd had the heads off? I'm thinkin maybe the motor was built with that damage already there??

I pulled the heads when I first got the engine (before I ever fired it up) to see what was inside… It’s all good guys.
I’ll be back and screamin’ on the water before you know it.
And if I never changed the heads Thursday it might have went the whole rally because I wouldn’t have known.
Like I said it's all good. No worries mate! :very happy
Gary this is for YOU…
Gary…. Shut it, just don’t even go there! :laughing :laughing
PS thanks again for the ride in your badazz machine... it was fun!
And thank you Gene for the use of your house boat, food, beer and bring the chef Keith.

Looks like the damage I had in one of my 260's. It was a broken wristpin circlip that did damage that looked just like that.
