MR_Loyale Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 In the photo below, both pistons are shiny on the bottom. Is this the proof positive that the EA82 HG has failed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subruise Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 look at the actual gasket as well. youll see the failure point. that said yes, you are correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Loyale Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Thanks. JJ421 was over here when I took the heads off and we wondered what was up with that. The other side has no shiny spots on the pistons. Glad I am not doing all this block scrubbing for nothing. LOL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobiedubie Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I thought that the shiny area was due to the oil that leaks through the rings when the engine is off, loosens up the carbon that is then blown out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
