Default 1998 cobra engine noise. i found the problem....finally.

so i had my valve cover taken off and the cylinders checked. they stuck a little camera in there i guess and found that a piece of the piston had chipped off. i have no idea why this happened.....any input? what do you think is the best way to go about this?

only detonation can break a piston.wrong plug heat range,wrong fuel octane,a restricted fuel injector?maybe dirty?

i think you need a new engine,or rebuild that one,have your injectors pressure tested,just in case.

When you build it back, don't go cheap on the internals. Forged this time and build it for boost.
