[NSRCA-discussion] YS160 Piston problems

[Mike Hester]

These motors run fantastic. I've never BEEN so impressed with an engine. My only question is and has been, how will it hold up. So far, mine's still going strong. We shall see.

  Oh boy. Yeah that sounds like a more serious problem. Well, I bet somebody at YS knows about this already. They'll probably have an updated piston real soon. Bummer. I heard those motors run really strong.

    I don't think it's a fit problem John, the YS has a teflon insert on both ends of the piston pin that keeps it in place and protects the liner.  They push out easily with the pin, so it is basically a free floating piston pin, besides it is fairly evident that the crack is originating from the top of the piston as the center looks like it is pushed down.
