I've been at this thing for a while now, Trying to get my 3444 in shape - Had no compression in #4 cylinder Pulled the head and sleeves look good Head had some problems Pre combustion chamber on #4 and #2 were loose and made contact with pistons causing a wear spot in tops of both.Engine never locked up or jamed Cylinder head shop says the head has a crack in the # 4 and #2 PC chambers and is history - (get another one they say) Here comes the question - when I replace the head Im worried that the pistons will break at the wear spots One is 1/8" deep and in the shape of the chamber face and the other is 1/32" deep same shape- I dont know how thick Piston faces are -Are they tuff enough to leave in place if no cracks are visible ?
