blown zc from turbo.
i've got a bud who blew his motor using a 14b pushing 6-8lbs. How is it that the only thing that blew were his ringlands. every single one of his pistons the ringlands were busted. I was thinking he'd blow a headgasket, bend a rod, melt a piston. something of that nature. He was boosting on a sohc zc with an estimated 70k miles. Is there some sort of predisposition to weak ringlands or something? Maybe he'll post pics up later who knows

I have to agree. Sounds like detonation. Running lean tends to melt things (pistons). Detonation tends to crack things, and too much power on a stock bottom end like to snap rods.
