    Here are some links with pictures so you can determine what happened to your piston.

    Piston Failure Analysis

    I also attached one that includes pics of the cylinder and piston. Defininitve Dave posted this one on the OPE forum.

    Kyle Mulligan, I believe I mentioned these in a thread of yours when you were working on a MS260. I just got around to digging them up.

    IMG_1185.JPG IMG_1186.JPG Does this picture appear to be early stage bearing failure, I debated about that or too lean a fuel mix? I suspect a tear down and assess is in the near future. It's on an Sthil 066 I bought cheap.
