I had a 5 cylinder Audi N/A diesel that had a head fall apart about 2 years ago. At the time I only noticed that one of the inserts had fallen out and mashed one of the pistons. I scrapped that engine, but now I have a little time to clean up some of the pieces to sell them. I found that only two of the pistons were in usable shape. One was totaly mashed, and one had a big dent from hitting a loose insert, and the other had a small crater blown out of it in the same area that the insert would hit. What caused this? Would setting the timing way to far in advance (I didn't have a dial gauge then) cause the inserts to be blown out of the head?
