Unless of course you were told it was fucked and was sold as is, but if they said its definetely the rings or nothing at all, Id be seeking a refund or atleast a nice chunk
This motor was sold knowing there was a problem. I didn't know what it was because I never took it apart. The only thing I did was describe exactly what the symptoms were and hope for the best. Without opening the motor myself, I couldn't tell any potential buyer what the problem might be. I don't work like that.
From talking to Nathan I think the pistons melted. No chunks in the motor. He's pretty down about it and it sucks that I couldn't know exactly what was going on with it, but I documented as much as I could of it, and it was a risk. Both for me not knowing if it was a headgasket, and him for not knowing if it was 4 broken pistons.

Far cry from 4 blown ------ pistons.

this reminds me that i have to open up my engine and see if theres any damage.

There were metal shavings in the oil pan which i believe to be from the replaced eagle rod with the bigger rod bolts (HOPEFULLY)

man you guys are blind, you cant see the chunks taken out of the pistons, but i do agree we could use some good pics so we dont have to lean close to the screen
