What's this?

Hard to believe it made it through the assembly line without someone....


...of some computerized scanner catching that one. It's even more surprising it was driven with a missing piston. Surprised the people who drove it at the factory and/or the dealership didn't notice the lost power, or that it didn't immediately set off a MIL.

Guess the connecting rod was also missing, otherwise it's banging against the cylinder wall would be very hard to miss.
