Still having problems with the photo's !!
I think the casting fault idea is lightly to be the cause of my woes. The piston crown hasn't collapsed, the rings are free in their grooves but the odd thing is that what appears to be a casting fault is evident on both sides of the bore opposite one another.The damage to the piston is as in the first post very extensive on one side where the pin was able to "escape".But the same pattern is showing on the other side where the circlip is still in place !

What am I doing wrong whilst trying to post pictures? My method works on another forum but not on here.

My barrel (the Interceptor one,) also had a similar flaw on the opposite side but not as large as the one in the picture.
