Melted piston??!! These are what the tops of your pistons will look like if you run pump gas. E85 a little better and meth worse.

Shell non synthetic 20/50... Thick b/c I'm in Florida so no really hard freezing temps and its thick enough to coat and lubricate nicely

burned and melted? the piston heads could be wiped clean from the carbon build up and they would look like brand new.. there isn't even a mark on the top of them.. number 4 looks like the day it came in on the pallet after being worked on by Buschur.. absolute perfection.
Heads at Buschurs as of Friday.. should be hearing something soon..hoping for great news

Was it just water drops that were on the pistons then? He really thought those the actual pistons themselves being melted.

Did you wipe the piston tops after pulling the head? If not, that is very clean for pump!

Very impressive to see a built motor go 70k (@3Xpsi on a 37R on pump!), certainly a testament to the quality of the BR motors..
