#6 Cylinder Is Toast

Well I went down to the shop and pulled the head of tonight #6 piston is toast. I have not figured out where all the piston debris went it must of went into the crankcase because the turbo is fine. I guess there is one bright point it did not wipe out my new PDR HX35 turbo. Cylinder #5 is also starting to scuff the cylinder wall and #2 piston had all the soot burned off of it, I do believe my propane system is out of wack. O by the way I have a propane system for sale if anyone is interested

. Well it looks like I will be doing alot of walking and buming rides for awhile.
