HAHAH.

Not a mechanic or a tuner, but, I am in agreement with the line of thought that an intake, exhaust, and a tune to compensate for those things (reasonable timing advance, MAF/IAT tables, etc.) is not gonna blow a hole in a piston.
On that note, what kind of "Radical Tune" (with regards to timing) would it take to do this?

An extremely lean condition can cause a piston to melt, and timing that is too far advanced can cause a piston to chip.
Thanks for the info.Originally Posted by DRCUSTOMPARTS

I just found out the cylinder 1,3,5,7 is misfiring badly and o2 sensor bank 1 is causing check engine light to come on, would that make my g8 pistons bad
This problem happen two weeks ago, but it stop after I removed the throttle body and clean it, and now it started again
Did u have O2 replaced?

Anyone who has ever worked on a car has been in your position, and sitting cross-legged on a concrete floor with a dim shop light is its own kind of hell... Chalk it up as one of the rites of passage.
