Mercury Pro XB250 piston..
One of the greatest all time threads lol
Lmao the X was on it when he built it it was just out of break in. :eek:
The broken steel sleeve came out with the piston in it. Supposedly happened in the 9k range
Not sure how they managed this one looks like some water was introduced. 2013 3.4 300 Etec.

Guy said he was "outside just looking for bait" and it started to slow down.
I've seen a lot of pistons like the ones being shown.
Reminds me me of one particular racer I use to build for. If the engine faltered or hiccuped or slowed down he would just put his foot into it more to "clear it out". Never worked out but sure did destroy a lot of engines!
Never saved any of the Pistons or took pictures, oh well!
Holy smokes! More sleeves there than in my wife's closet!
