The tapered part of my piston skirt broke off of the #6 piston on my 2000 xj. The skirt is in about 5 or 6 chunks from getting caught up in the crank counterweight (judging by the nicks). Im not sure how many tiny pieces there are.
The jeep has just over 100,000 miles on it. After the skirt broke, I drove it for about 15-20 miles (both highway and city) and parked it. As far as i can tell, it didn't do any damage to the cylinder walls. My oil temp and pressure was still within limits. And it didnt seem to have any power loss.
My Question is- Do i have any options besides a entire rebuild?
