it was over five years ago and haven't given it much thought since. I don't expect anyone to put much effort into this thread but to see the carnage. If i want real information i'll provide more details and ask for more help. In the meantime i have another supra that is going into rebuild...

at the time, i believe it was.

At that point everything was stock except for an AVCR and an HKS fcon

thanks Ij. I was under the impression that detonation would begin to burrow a hole in the top of the piston. But i guess it's such a violent action that it could damage any part of the piston.
