M157 busted pistons?
Interesting video about a mechanic putting an M157 back together after some piston damage. He claims the car was running upgraded the turbos and now he is tasked with putting it back together on the cheap and they are going to run 1.7 bar and will probably blow the engine.

its in uae running 1.7 bar on turbo upgrade so i would think PP-Performance kit
cant believe the customer wants to put it back together with that much piston gap and rod play

I seem to recall MB initially wouldn't even sell single pistons for the M113k motor and forced you to buy a small block. Much later when they did start offering single piston kits they were still over a grand each! If either one of these scenarios is the case I can begin to justify the owners actions.
