    I'm stuck 1000 miles from home in Denver. The injector for #6 failed at highway speeds and when I pulled the plug it was smashed to pieces. Looks like the piston is history. Anyone engine saavy that is willing to help? I'm pretty good with these motors myself but have no where to tear it apart and I don't have many of my tools. I know this is a long shot but figured it was worth trying!

    Thanks for looking guys

    put a new spark plug in and drive it home. it will have a misfire that you may or may not feel/hear. its still drive able, you'll get home.

    once your home, then your gonna want to start looking for a used engine as the cheapest resolution.

    and do you use 91 octane or higher? if not thats probably why the piston chipped.

    I know a guy thats maybe 3 hours from Denver, but he would have no chance this time of the year to help you out. Other than that, I can't think of anyone.
