Tore down my bottom end this weekend and 3 pistons had broken rings on them. Also found one piston with a 1/4" hole in the side of it. I was told this was a "hot spot." It is located right around the rings (this piston was one with broken rings).
The piston with a hole in it also created a groove in the cylinder wall where the hot spot formed.
Luckily I've got a buddy who's selling me his low miles bottom end, but I still would like to know what the cause of these issues are.
Destruction pics to come soon...
