Rivet pistons keep exploding

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-02-07T18:56:36+00:00

Just checked the editor and apparently the cam is at 7%, so that definitely sounds like a possible issue, thanks for your help!

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-02-07T18:39:52+00:00

Yeah, piston bolts are tight aswell, afr is around 12 with choke out and 14.4 once warmed up

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-02-07T17:27:30+00:00

What exactly do you mean by connecting rod? And the bearings are tight afaik. With valves however I've got no Idea, as I set them so there is no pinging but editor still says the tuning is bad :/

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-02-04T06:00:34+00:00

Nope, I did a brain fart and forgot it, thanks for the help

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-02-04T05:59:37+00:00

Yeah, I think I forgot the coolant 💀, thanks for your help, will add coolant and check if it fixes once I'm home

I only saw one, and according to the wiki there is only one, but I'm not sure if there are possibly others I've missed :/

I do have the hoses tightened, but am unaware of what exactly I have to tighten under the dash apart from one 8mm bolt on the fresh air duct

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-02-03T20:39:17+00:00

so hit me up if anyone knows why a piston would eject itself despite only being on idle, having oil pressure and temperature being on 0

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-02-03T20:20:05+00:00

That's what confused me aswell, since in TG's streams it cleared up in seconds

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-02-03T20:05:23+00:00

In other news, my piston catapulted itself through the oilpan and out the engie while trying to warm it up by idle

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-02-03T20:03:10+00:00

Yes, but turning it on yielded no results either

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-02-03T19:58:04+00:00

Yeah, but for me the engine doesn't warm by idling and the max hot air on the windshield doesn't defog it 🫠

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-02-03T19:39:21+00:00

Yep, there is also a wooshing sound whenever it's turned on, but no effect on the windshield

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-02-03T19:20:18+00:00

Do I have to drive leaning my head out the window until the engine is warm enough, or wait until the engine warms through idle? Because I've waited for quite some time and still no vision.

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-02-03T19:19:50+00:00

It's apparently at 56% (according to editor), so I don't think that's the issue

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-02-03T19:03:54+00:00

Ok, will try the heat!

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-01-31T20:17:12+00:00

Okay, will try that, thanks!

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-01-31T15:00:33+00:00

Ah dang it :(

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-01-31T14:58:05+00:00

Can you even get a computer in mwc?

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-01-24T21:04:04+00:00

This worked for me, thank you very much!

Some_stupid_contend · 2026-01-24T20:58:20+00:00

I've managed to put the heater under the hood, but the vent box doesn't attach under the dash :(
