This is in reference to Daewoo Forklift G20S-3 using a Hercules 2.7l engine. We have just dismantled an engine of this model as it was having heavy compression leakage. When we removed all the pistons from the bore we found that in Piston # 1 + 3 the wall between piston ring 2 & 3 had broken and come away from the piston. Does anyone have any idea as to what could be the reason for this failure. The engine was being operated on LPG.

Fact of the week
Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
