About 2 months ago, I did an engine rebuild because the piston no: 4 was leaking too much oil from it (see pics). I was wondering how could this happened? I know that I have done 2 things to the engine - (not at the same time). Once I turbocharged my b3 with no more than 5 psi boost with just an fmu and no inter cooler, but never pushed it to the limits. Also after I removed the turbo, I fitted a diy hydrogen generator. I think that that ruined my piston because I put the hose right to the intake plenum where there was nothing connected. So the engine sucked up more than 3 oz. I think that the hydrogen is acid and so getting very hot. I don't think that a turbo may do this damage to a piston from the side. I say that because all other 3 pistons where in perfect order, and so were the rings. Any thoughts? Thanks

Also hydrogen is not an acid, and If I were you I would take it off because it isn't doing anything at all to help your performance.:festiva: 1995 Kia Pride, 1.3 EFI, manual. :fred:
