I can't find the picture of it, but I have a Fox airplane engine that ate a wristpin G-clip..
There was an early run of the 40th Anniversary Fox 35 where the circlip groove wasn't machined quite deep enough causing them to pop out. The check for these is to push the wristpin quite hard and if the circlip came loose, get another piston from Fox .
