Ever see a piston explode into shrapnel? This is another first for me.
The engine is a newer Evinrude G2 300, the number 6 piston shattered and seized the the crank. There was one small hole in the side of the block about the size of a quarter from the debris. When I pulled the intake and reed plate off I was treated to a pile of shrapnel inside. BRP will be replacing the power head under warranty I believe.
Hyperacme:
Thought it was weird getting shrapnel in intake ?
But there fuel injected, so guessing intake is wide open to reed block.

It's direct injection, the injectors spray into the tops of the cylinder heads. But whether it's direct injection or throttle-body injection it's all the same between the reed plate and the cylinders. They're all open through the crank on 2-stroke engines but the cylinders are isolated from each other.

OK .. Understand what your saying ..
What a mess !
