Hi, I have a waveraider 1100 that blows a hole on the top part of piston number 3 to the exhaust side. This is the 2nd time it does it. When I install the brand new piston, it runs like a champ, no other jet ski on the lake can out run mine, but it only lasts for about an hour, then I just hear a popping sound and loose speed. When I took off this piston it had a layer of oil around, so it was not dry. I don't know what I am missing to fix to avoid this from happening again. One thing I noticed is the head gasket for cylinder 3 has a ruptured metal ring, could this be to blame for the piston blowing a hole? I am attaching some pictures of the whole thing, if anyone already went through this or can give me any ideas as to what to do, your help will be greatly appreciated.
THanks,
Hector
