I'm done trying to explain it. . .

you're right. . . I'm wrong *

I don't know the specs of your build, but I would venture to guess theres something wrong a motor thats eating through ring lands like that regardless of tune.

Again, all my personal opinion. The picture is a joke. I've seen motors pushed to their limits and I've seen motors built out of tolerance and incorrectly and blow the fuck up. I've seen a CBR-RR motor that was built incorrectly, and guess what happened, ring lands took a shit probably 600 miles in and ate cylinder walls with it. I'm not saying I'm not all omnipotent, but if a guy can get a season off a full blown 2600+ hp drag motor, do you not agree for a street driving car, replacing pistons every other week is excessive? I understand you pay to play, this has nothing to do with that.

Better yet, lets get more information on exactly why he's replacing pistons. I'm guessing he blew something up, in which case, its like throwing a band aid on a leg that got thrown into a wood chipper.

Again, these aren't attacks on you, so don't come out swinging and tell me I don't know what I'm doing as you have no idea on how many motors i've built and been into.


Edit: Forgot the 'not' in front of all omnipotent.
