Did you buy that truck from Clyde ?

Were you feeding LPG into it ?

The nissan was definatly part of the problem. I did turn down the smoke quater of a turn. do you think it was over fueling??


Possably,, When you got the truck it was running extra fuel and extra boost and went well .. Maybe buy lowering the boost and not backing off enough fuel or backing off the fuel and continuing to run high boost may have been enough to get the exhaust temp to high and melt the piston.. Running hard (towing a heavy Vehical ) for a long haul and not having an Exhaust temp gauge to keep an eye on may have been the fatal blow for the poor old thing .. :(

A melt down like that would not be the result of previous LPG use.

A melt down like that would be the result of the pyro temperature too hot on the day . It is something that happens instantly when the temperature gets over a certain point.

I have done it with motor bikes in the past.

Probably caused with over fueling and foot to the floor.

Actually what you are saying is right. I have a manually turned on supercharger and when I switch it on my pyrometer drops 100 C with the extra air going through the motor.
The other choice is to turn the fuel down.

Guessing here and the guess is based on dead engines running petrol and two stroke racing bikes.

That piston bears all the earmarks of a ring failure. the short bits bounced up and down eroding away at the lands until finally breaking through. As the ring turned around, bits broke off went up on top, making interesting engraving marks and buggering off down the divorce pipe. probably even gave the turbo a smack or two on the way.

The melted bits are created AFTER the ring failure.

Question. Why did the ring fail?
Answer. because it failed. fuknose.

I can tell WHY the sky is blue though.

This is what i assumed happened i just thought i would ask the question if the gas had contributed to the prematuer faliuer fo the ring.

Rings generally fail and break because with the piston getting hot and expanding they jam in the groove.

Excessive carbon build up in the groove can also bring this on.

Other things causing failure is lack of oil in the bore or a faulty cooling system.

All of these things cause heat and a ring generally won't break unless it jams in the groove.

Generally speaking, you are right, all of those can be, and GENERALLY are, contributing factors. But are not the ONLY reasons.

For us of more mature years, that translates back to 24 MPG which is VERY respectable, considering the way its driven, as if it was a little old lady doing her shopping. Wonder how it would go driven a litttle more aggressively?

Is that NM at the wheels or at the flywheel?

the ONLY way you can measure flywheel Nm is ... on a engine dyno
if they try to gove you that off a rolling road or chassis dyno .. its a made up figure

As long as before and after numbers (right or Wrong) are done on the same dyno you still see your % gain.
