yup so i need new pistons and rods indefinitely. no chance of saving them. i finally took a good look and idk how i missed this the first time. i just hope the block is ok. the piston squirter in cylinder 1 is broken.... this needs to go get checked out asap

Ouch. Yeah, replace the pistons, and definitely check the block. Those scratches look a little deep.

In one of the last pics the rod looks bent :-(

yup number 4 cylinder is bent so something went wrong once upon a time

Bent rod, gouged pistons. Sounds like it may have over heated.

But it doesn't show it in the crank. No scarring or anything to the bearing surfaces. And no color change. I was thinking over boost since it does have after market parts to the car

Someone got lucky I would go ahead and spend the money to build the engine and be done with it

That's the plan so far. Just gotta get the funds

 

[Silver gryffon]

I feel your pain. I'm waiting for a remanufactured engine to get here, so I can rebuild mine in my spare time.
