What Really Happened to the Fairmont’s Piston? Eric Comes Clean -ETCG1
Well, I got a definitive answer from a performance engine building expert on what happened to the Fairmont’s piston last summer. I’ll give you a hint, it wasn’t hydrolock.
A big thanks to Bill McKnight from MAHLE on this one. In my mind, his word is law on this one.
One important takeaway from this is that even with all of my mechanical experience, I still make mistakes. I think one of the best things about being a mechanic/fabricator is that I get to learn something new every day. Stay positive people.
