List,
I just pulled one of the old pistons out of my ailing motor. I was surprised
to see below the three ring grooves (with rings in them) a fourth groove
with no ring in it. This groove had holes drilled through the piston wall. I
haven't seen anything like that in my manual or in the catalogs selling new
replacement pistons. Whats up with that fourth groove?
 
Cheers,
Curt Fisher
