Re: V8 Piston damage what do you think happened

Pending further information it is probably due to a previous engine failure and the rebuilder just reused the piston. If the upper ring land is not distorted then probably just reuse that piston depending on wheather there is any damage to the side which is difficult to determine from the pic.

Will Egge sell u just one piston?????

Most likely it's as Jselph mentioned, electrolisis. usualy when something lets go in the engine it beats around on the entire surface of the piston crown, not just in one specific area like the pic shows.
