I have a 1993 Mecury Villager with the V6 motor. Without any warning, (no knocking noise or poor preformance ) the pistion on the passenger rear of the motor exploded into fragments and ended up in the oil pan. THe oil pressure was good. The push rod was still intact. What could have caused this?
Also I was told that the motor is shot and the cylinder cannot be honed out and the piston replaced, is this true? The motor had 103000 highway miles on it.
