<< Hello all,
 I have put a CDI which gives a fairly powerful multi-spark on a 2 litre 
 Ford pinto engine.  This engine is tuned to go up to 8500 RPM.
 However after some runs the engine broke.  When we opend the engine up 
 we found that on piston was melted.  A friend of mine told me that a 
 powerfull spark may be the cause.  Has anyone encountered such a 
 situation and how can it be rectified.
 Thanks in advance
 Michael

If you really think that this CDI unit is to blame then I would check the
inside
of the distributor cap to see if there was any cross talk between cylinders
or any cross talk between spark plug wires. Had a problem that bent a rod
because a cylinder was getting fired 90 degrees before it should have.
