    If the engine turns over a compression test will tell you if that is the problem, and not an injector or something else.

    Very unusual for a ZD of this age to blow a hole in the piston. As mudnut said, get a comp test done, Could be just a turbo or injector, or pump. What makes yous think its a holed piston? What is happening?

    G'day and welcome.

    As the fella have said, blowing a hole in a piston crown is extremely rare, so likely something else going on.

    Plus one again for the compression test.

    If the engine is screwed, well go bullet proof https://www.patrol4x4.com/threads/gu...ersion.400169/
