I thought you 'needed' a larger compressor for your foray into blasting things with your kit??

Yes, looks like low oil, the piston has definitely grabbed and nipped the ring. NEVER seen a gudgeon pin wear like that, run a file across it and see if it is not hardened properly! It is common for the soft to wear the hard, but with not enough oil and splash lube, what can you expect! I have an on-gong problem with my compressor, and my memory, The compressor develops a very worrying knock, so I check the oil, put some more in just in case, overfill it, end up with a pool on the floor, then remember that it is the motor pulley that comes loose, tighten it up, and it purrs like a kitten again. Done it three times now, think it's me age!!

A bit of an update...
After replacing all the broken bits and about £100 lighter, I sold the comp for £275......nice :)
