Good luck John......you've managed to find the impossible......I read on here that Stihls never fail or even get dirty.....I guess one of those might be true......probably the latter.....because of the former not being exactly accurate......lol!!
Self cleaning if used correctly and few if any breakdowns if all OEM. Again we see an aftermarket part self destruct, one of the most hyped up AM parts to date at that.
This is the first Meteor piston I have seen or heard of going bad ? I am thinking something got in there ? Find more in just a bit .

Didn't find anything in there , but looks like the ring broke to cause the mess . Just no idea why the ring broke ?
Was that an aftermarket ring?

HaHaHa!!!!!
What I can see from the pict is that a ring caught in the exhaust port. I have seen more than once,maybe less than a dozen times over the years. All but one was caused by the ring breaking then popping out into the port. I would like to know if this was one of the newer high tension rings as I have feared this would happen with them. High tensile metals are not the best when subjected to heat, softer cast iron is better in my opinion. We will likely never know what the ring material was in this case but I will still be on the fence concerning the high tension rings.
