Hello everyone, I've done a lot of reading and found the site very informative!
I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me with my problem. I have a 94 daytona, which has a broken skirt on the piston.
I think it is the little lobe with a hollow which appears to stop the water from dropping down into the base of the motor. After this occurred the engine still ran but bogged out when given gas, I'm assuming from filling the block with water. I started tearing the engine down, eliminated the head gasket leaking, base gasket, etc. The last thing i reached was the piston. After removing the engine and cleaning everything up I didn't find one trace of the piece that broke off the piston. Both connecting rods are good as is the crank, everything is still timed perfectly, compression still seemed decent also other than water in the block.
I'm wondering if piston and rings would do the trick or could there be more hidden problems?
I'm really hoping to get my ski back together and in the water for this summer!
What do you guys think?
