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

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.

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
