So we were told originally, and on the call with diamond that those of us in group 3 with engines less than 900 hours and returning low aluminum numbers from the sample would have the option of a core replacement at 900 hours. Now I am seeing documentation stating that the only remedy for this situation will be piston replacement at 900 hours. If this is indeed, true, I am certainly less happy.
