Melted no 3 piston on the way to work!(I was running a little late It still got me to work, and back home again, (about 20 miles) with suprisingly little smoke. I thought I had just blown the head gasket, couldnt believe what I saw when I took the head off, hole about 2inches dia melted into the top of the piston! Car was 13 years old, so didnt justify repair
