Finally got the pontoon on the water, got all loaded up and started running the lake. About half hour in it started making a weird noise and lost power. Took the heads off, piston is destroyed and wrecked the head. This shrapnel is what caused the damage but can’t find anywhere it could have came from. The rings are in tact so it’s not that Reed valves are in tact.
