I didn't realize this is a for sale ad. How much Gil? New team scrammit mill going in??

Well, since you asked-yes the new Team Xscrammit motors are ready!!! I just installed mine and it started soooo easy. I am sure it's gonne be the best cuz crammit said it was gonna be the best. I opted for the MEGA BORE setup which utilizes KeithBlack pistons so my cc's ended up at 1852cc on a 2 cylinder motor!!!

I say the pics are bogus, as is this thread, you don't own a Superjet and those pics are fakes, everyone knows Yamaha 701's are paragons of reliability and never break, just ask anyone.

what about Detonation

it actually does look more like deto than a needle bearing. you're right. if it was a piece of metal of some sort it wouldn't just be concentrated on the outer edges of the piston and head. also, apon closer inspection I noticed that the "pitting" is more of a small "crater" shape than a "jab" from a chunk of some type of metal. so yeah, I'm gonna go with detonation, and it looks like it was caught just before total melt down.

crackhead-there are no marks in the middle because there is ALOT of clearance in the middle!!! U know-the combustion part of the dome? LOL
