[QUOTE="mercurycrest, post: 23771, member: 64"] That had to be around 650-700C to melt like that! What shade of blue is the rod? ;-) I've stuck two Omega/VOC pistons at .004 with milages you'd expect things to be settled in by & two up on a Comet, but they were nothing like what yours is. The second one was even useable again with a bit of cleaning up. 'Went to .006+ and end of problem.... knock wood. I'd expect the little end to have enough side play to make up for any sidways error there. Roy has a good idea about the rod being bent. That would certainly give sidethrust. Hey, at least it's better looking than Tony Wheatley's:cool: Cheers, John [/QUOTE]
