One of the engines disqualified was measured up the following weekend on the saturday morning, and it was somewhat WELL over the allowed ignition mark, not measured by me I might add, but it was measured by someone who knew what they were doing.
No smoke without fire, I admit its a really sad situation as the engine builder has sadly passed away god bless, but the facts are piston-gate at the start of the 2015 S1 season, and was subsequently banned from 2 prominent south-east kart circuits for bringing the sport into disrepute due to piston-gate.
If it makes you feel better we checked one of my engines 2 weeks ago which has just been re-built, and it was a mile over the ignition limit, god knows how this happened, I can only think it was built without due care and attention, but it did happen......stones and glass houses and all that
