What I think you paid for:
Block: $100
rods: $300
Bearings/ gaskets: $100
important machine work (balancing): $100
total: $600
You only got fucked for about $400.
Sucks But it was a risky transaction

I forgot about that... Detonation to crack those pistons would show on the bearings. Well, bearing are another $65.00
Did it come with head studs?

Things that I payed for in this motor
Block (posted)
rods
pistons
completely rebuilt head
y8 IM w/ls TB
Fedural mogul Bearings
new water pump, oil pump, gaskets, ect.
Every last piece of machine work that you could do to this thing is done. All of it.
When I sold the motor I didn't know what was wrong with it. I thought maybe the rings due to it running but having some smoke. What else would you guess from a motor that was running as normal as it ever did, but with some smoke?
The pistons being the problem is much worse than me or Nathan thought would have been the problem, but that's what it was. Anything was possible here, and we both knew it. For the cost of the most expensive pistons you can buy for that motor, you still couldn't spend that much and have that motor.
If it turned out to be just a headgasket I wouldn't be wanting any more money, and when it's the other way around it's the same thing. That's how it works.

Here's a pm that me and Nathan had that shows my quote at the top and his answer:
lol...
yeah obviously it'll be either something minor...or major...nothing inbetween..
lol what rings did you have before and how much were they? can i get .10 over rings at napa or ---- places like that?
And the bearings are fine.
I want pictures of everything. When you take the head off, EVERYTHING.
Do as I say, and nobody gets hurt. I still think about what the ---- it could have been. It's either gonna be something stupid (headgasket) or something major (half of a piston gone)

Was he aware that you ran this at 17psi , and stupid timing with the hack, because if he didn't that is kind of shady.

That type of detonation can show up on the bearings.
