Upon pulling the head off, this is what the piston looked like, and after further tear down the whole piston is like this, crank, sleve and rod show no markings or pitting. I contacted Acend/PR-RC, and went back and forth, I'm concerned about the realiablility now, they indicated that I may have left the motor out in the open and that could have caused it, no, not true. There latest responce is " they see no problem
running in this situation". To say the least I'm not happy with it, the motor still has good compression and pinch, does run for how long who knows. I thought atleast they'd send a repalcement piston and sleeve. What do you think?
Sounds like you are very happy with the motor but the looks of the piston? High silicon content aluminum looks like that although yours does look a little different. They could have used a cheaper aluminum like Os does and you would need to have it pinched more often. ( I pinch motors) Just put it together and run it, if there was something wrong with the pston it would have lost pinch by now.
Or you could listen to Deadmancourt, can you tell he sells Go motors?
