How would I know?

Just curious, how would I know if one of my pistons are cracked?(besides getting a compression test done:p)

Clunky sound when the piston is moving.

Power loss.

Thanks,another one for ya, a burning smell coming from the engine?

[Silver-Arrowz]

I think if it's blue smoke, it's oil burning.

do a compression test they don't cost much

When the piston in the Kingswood broke (Yes we had a kingswood) ... the noise was unbearable. i couldn't turn the car on because it was soo loud. It sounded like it was hurting the car too

It's a very loud ticking noise that increases with revs. The mechanics thought it was the flex plate.. but after paying $450 to get all that fixed.. it turned out to be a piston.

The car didn't run since then. It was gonna coast $3000 to fix because the idiot who built the engine didnt use corrosion inhibitor.
