  I want to clear up some confusion. When I put the borescope down the cylinder, I thought there was a hole in the piston but then I started second guessing it since I couldn't see that well. That is why I keep diagnosing it after that point.

  Brother I can say I’ve saw this once before that’s the glow plug chamber and it’s because too much starting fluid is used too quickly and it made small but powerful explosions in the glow plug chamber blew plug out into your cylinder and the plug got beat into the piston and caused a hole into the piston looks like the piston was coming back down from tdc when it occurred because the intake valve has the damage. Great video keep them coming.

  Very much enjoy your trouble-shooting and abilities.  I have to say the coolest part of your video is getting to see a patient dad with his two sons and how cool is it that they have a dad with the best toys and that can teach them how to use them and fix them.  And also to be a patient dad with kids of their own.  Looking forward to more "Fixing the Iron" videos.

  While you have the radiator and engine out consider drilling some small drain holes in the skid plate.  There was alot of water inside.  Keep up the good work.  Fun video!

  When you pulled the dipstick that said it all. It was expecting to see either a cracked piston or burnt through the ring lands. For the swirl chambers to break up it was probably a bad spray pattern or it ran on it&apos;s own oil at some point. Be careful with the kids playing with tools around batteries. He was seconds away from a life changing injury. Looking forward to part 2
