Message: [QUOTE="kleake, post: 1393627, member: 25987"] First off, the coating on the piston is interesting, but effectively nothing. I looked tonight and the line had progressed upward and even more appeared to be flaking off. When head was pulled: [ATTACH=full]165933[/ATTACH] 2 days later: [ATTACH=full]165934[/ATTACH] When I touched it with my finger, it wiped right off and appeared to be wet to the touch. Kinda interesting, but no big deal. [ATTACH=full]165935[/ATTACH] Next question, the front cover. Its obviously pretty pricey to replace it, but depending on how thick it is right behind the impeller will depend if I replace mine or not. After 220k it only has small imperfections in the surface with only 2 very small dips, less than 1/16" deep. This is getting fairly expensive so obviously I don't want to waste money, but is this bad enough to justify the cost or is it still good enough for another 200k? [ATTACH=full]165936[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]165937[/ATTACH] Hard to tell in the pic, but not this whole area is bad, just a little narrow strip 1/8" wide 3/4" long strip.
