Default RE: FG Monster truck engine just died

Thanks Scooter and all the other guys. I am just going to replace the motor with a new one and will rebuild this one in my spare time. Since I have the HPI Baja and the FG a spare engine is always a good thing. The damage is weird and looks like the piston was not perfectly straight in the cylinder so I guess it was possible it was built that way. I have the tools on order to remove the flywheel and such so I can pull the crank and check everything out prior to rebuilding it. I have also switched my oil to Klotz Super Techniplate Oil that is recommended by davesmotors.com (people I ordered my new engine from).
