Swamp Dog and Cletus are down
Swamp Dawg:
What do you mean water?
the old trucker:
There is water in the gas pumps at our local gas pumps. A Lot of people with snow blowers have Jerry cans full of gas stored inside their sheds usually in the warm. The water is still mixed with gas & goes directly into the blower tank. If you left the Jerry can outside the water will freeze & sink to the bottom.
He has taken apart the carb on these engines & seen ice in the bowl. This will cause the engine to buck & spit & it tore up the piston head. I would double check the plug, valve, & the carb for broken or missing parts. If your cylinder wall is OK how could it be a piece of ring ?? I hope your problem isn't too serious as I have the same engine....

cletus:
Ford 300 six back in the Bombardier.
We had to take our Ford 300 out to the automotive machine shop to have the cylinder head reworked and the number 1 piston replaced. It has been determined that a foreign piece of metal got into no 1 cylinder and did some damage.
Since we have had heating issues in the past we had the rad cleaned, purchased a new 6 blade fan from a Ford 300 Industrial power unit and we are now fabricating a fan shroud to optimize air flow from the radiator.
We hope this will help with our operational performance going forward.
