Yes it is. I have 2 broken pistons, one has a crack at the wrist pin, and the other has broken rings. the one with the broken rings, a piece of the ring kept working in the land, and wore a slot up the side of the piston. then ended up on top of the piston. I thought I threw a rod. there is 6 pieces of ring jambed into the top of the piston.
This is not 616/617 engine, but a Nissan SD-22 Diesel engine.
Glow plugs are a lot cheaper than a new engine. they say "An ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure". How true.

I just noticed my post count is now 3,889. this is the gear ratio of my PU in my sig, which is the diesel engine I mentioned above. I couldn`t have planned this if I wanted to.
