For whom the bell tolls
Well its all apart now, i'm off to Engine Specialties tomorrow to see what they say. It does look to be a simple fact of the sleeve 'just failing' in the sense that there is no extensive damage to the piston on that cylinder, looks as though a new set of rings will do the trick.

Liner creap,sloppy manufacturing tolerances.The Mitsi 4D55 used to do that....the cure was to fit liners with a lip at the top so they are positvely located.

Well the guys at Engine Specialties had a look. The prognosis:
$400+ per sleeve to machine out old one and fit new one - needed on two cylinders.
+ two cylinder sleeves at around $400
pistons are worn and will need replacing soon - best to do it now:
+$480US plus shipping
+ honing on other two cylinders.
OR
new engine approx $1500 plus shipping.

you dont have to be a rocket scientist to see that the cylinder is screwed, if you look in the top right you will see the beginings of a crack running down the other cylinder too.

ouch....
heating up to quick and expanding too quick? wtf causes that...
For whom the bell tolls
i think it cracked (one side of the pissing piece is a vertical straight line), i'm not sure what caused it to rip the chunk out, possibly a ring caught it, but theres not that much room for the piston to over-run... either way it got forced downwards as all the shit was in the sump and oil strainer.

having been down the replating road, i would say new engine is your best bet. had too many problems with quality of replating to want to do that again.
