Sorry Bad.Bummer for sure!IDK shit about what they should look like...other than "normal".Is that a hole on that far right one?Those others look fried as well.With those like that,any damage down below,underneath?

j&e was tried before those with worst results took out cases .. and that was a built motor package with a custom tune on the J&E's.... blue the damage is at the 2nd ring groove on the pistons.. the metal between 2nd ring and oil ring will distort and pinch the rings .. tops of pistons are fine .. i was having a debate about how great aftermarket pistons are to stock pistons .. 10 passes on MTC pistons @7LBS BOOST .. 500PASSES and counting on stock pistons @10lbs of boost .., i'll never waste money on aftermarket pistons again
