What is it ??

Piston.

It looks like there is a wide belt on it, though.

Those grooves are where the rings go.

Feul injector? (don't know much about cars)

 

[runnah]

Looks like it cam from a diesel engine.

He said it wasn't a cam shaft, nor a pulley.

Its a diesel piston, that hole is there for pulling it out of the block. the rings on the crown are throwing me off. It's either from a very old vehicle or some sort of agricultural equipment.

Makes sense. I agree that the grooves look like where the rings go. I guess, what looks like a belt, is an optical illusion.

Grooves on the crown are the ones face camera. The grooves on the side are where the rings go. You can tell it's a diesel because its a cupped crown. gas engines aren't like that/

Piston from a 1974 Honda Civic 1200 cc gasoline engine. This is an oversized piston because the engine was bored, among other things. It had Nissan valves and the ends were not properly hardened, so one was pushed through the retainer and fell into the cylinder at around 7,000 rpm. I kept the piston and connecting rod as a memento. The valve cover and oil pan went onto the new block and head. Everything between was new.

 

[runnah]

Weird. I could've sworn it was diesel.

 

[snowbear155 86]

Oh well. You win. Post something.

 

[sm4him]

Nothing new yet?

<tapping fingers on desk>

 

[Ron Evers]

Looks like Runnah run out.

I have one waiting if only I could win one but that is looking unlikely.

I think we need a rule about no shows - maybe reverts back to the previous or the first one to post a guess or something like that.

I got one a while ago, too.

 

[sm4him]

I don't think Ron's done one yet. I vote we let him post his.
