melt a piston? I dunno if a single injector dumping would be enough to raise egt's to melt that piston. but what do i know. I'm just thinking if a single injector failure can ruin a piston then these engines aint too tuff.

yup. . .if you had an injector to hang open you would be dumping raw fuel into the cylinder. when the heat builds up on the top of those pistons to a point the spray becomes a blow torch.
