LOOK!!! ..is this bad?? (pic. inside)
 

I just recently blew my engine's head gasket and in the process of rebuilding it. It was a pain in the a$$ to scrape off the head gasket, but it eventually came off. I went ahead and check to see if the rings need to be replace and this what I found when I took the pistons out......

Here's what I'm worry about.....
carbon buildup and the piston housing looks like it
was scrape..

ouch.. what motor?

Re:LOOK!!! ..is this bad?? (pic. inside)
 

Looks like it's a b16. Yeah that looks like there was some friction in there with the cylinder and the piston....

Re:LOOK!!! ..is this bad?? (pic. inside)
 

nope its a d16a6, atleast thats what the name plate says.. ouch..

Re:LOOK!!! ..is this bad?? (pic. inside)
 

that looks rather unhealthy, looks like it's time for another d-series build up, I love engine builds, take pictures for us.

Re:LOOK!!! ..is this bad?? (pic. inside)
 

poor poor A6...a little bit of piston slap on those cold mornings ehhh. ;)

Did it make funny noises at all from that?

Re:LOOK!!! ..is this bad?? (pic. inside)
 

looks like it got overheated to me...

And why is all the coolant gone around the sleeves? I see the drain bolt is still in? or was it already drained?


B16? Y8? man, can you guys read? lol.. its an D16a6

Re:LOOK!!! ..is this bad?? (pic. inside)
 

It's a stock D16a6. The engine started with uneven compression about 1 1\2 years ago when I turbo charge it. I was lucky enough to have this engine last me this long while boosting 7-10lbs with a FMU.

i drain the coolant already. Wish me luck guys, I'm engine hunting today @ the local wreck yard.

Re:LOOK!!! ..is this bad?? (pic. inside)
 

I'm a newbie when it comes to engine internals, but couldn't you just hone out the sleeves and put over sized pistons in?

Re:LOOK!!! ..is this bad?? (pic. inside)
 

you only have to put oversize pistons if you bore, hone means basically just to resurface the cylinder walls.

All the gasket are all remove, the black spots that showing there are just burnt mark.....

Just came back from the local wreck yard and I didn't have much luck there. I found a D16a6, but it has too much oil and dirt on it. Probably going to check out a local guy that's selling one for $150 w/ 134,000 miles on it....

Re:LOOK!!! ..is this bad?? (pic. inside)
 

why not just rebuild?

Re:LOOK!!! ..is this bad?? (pic. inside)
 

I wouldent rebuild that block with that much damage done to the walls .. dealing with oversized pistons and what not gets expensive.. might as well just get a used block for $150.

Re:LOOK!!! ..is this bad?? (pic. inside)
 

You don't think you can hone that out? I guess it's kinda hard to see how deep the grooves are in the pic, but it doesn't look too bad to me. ???

all you need is to re hone those sleeves, and new pistons ;D

Re:LOOK!!! ..is this bad?? (pic. inside)
 

go with an overbore, and then get some new pistons and rings. Just drop the compression a little, so you can run more boost!

Re:LOOK!!! ..is this bad?? (pic. inside)
 

i got a d15 with the same ----, rings seized in the piston. get a new block man, here in OH you can get complete 1.5 for 200 out the door
