i have no idea yet… in the process of tearing it down. whatever it is, it isn’t really a problem coz i got another engine for free, just costing me the time. and i think i see parts of a piston ring in there, maybe it let go of the rod and then got smashed by it when if came back up? who knows, i’m learning as i go ---

that is probably bearings, rings and possibly chunks of pistons…pull the head off and you should be able to tell if the actual piston came apart but either way that motor is junk. probably so far out of spec it can’t even be align bored ---

ahhh, i found the problem why didn’t you pro’s tell me it was circled right on the front of the damn car?!?!?! oh, and new engine should be in within the next couple days, which i realize none of you probably give a shit about, but i think it’s cool that i’m not paying someone to do it and learning a bunch of shit as i go
