Why don't you tell the truth and say the ringlands are shot.

btw, replacing the rings means you need to hone the block too.

The ring lands blew when it was turbo smartass, I rebuilt it after that and took the turbo off. I will get pics tomorrow

I messed up the ring land in piston #3 and I replaced the piston and the rings for that piston. Then I drove it carefully for about 100 miles and boosted 10lbs again...this time it lasted 1 day before 3 piston ring lands were fried this time.
