Only one question. Where did it go? There is no scaring of the cylinder walls and the head doesnt have a mark on it.

Amazingly the compression on that cylinder was just a hair lower then the rest and it ran fine?? Just one of those things i guess.

The stock pistons are likely to do that if youre F/I. He is right, it is probably caught at the converter. This is a good reason why you need aftermarket pistons. Ive seen this before. Boost on a stock bottom end, the ringlands cant stand the pressure. Result is broken pistons. I dont know this "scott svt" but he is right on brother. What he has stated is correct. You got very lucky. Time to get those Ross Pistons? lol. I hope you have good luck with this man.

i would look in the converter if i had one... I heard a tinging noise go down my exhaust one night and that must have been it. I have been testing the limits of the Zetec for a while now. I was waiting for it to break so i could begin the build, haha.
