welp... there's your problem.

you're wasting no time with this man, getchya some

all thats left to do is connect some of the little bull**** wiring and bolt the turbo and intake manifold back in.. oh and the radiator.. she'll be back up and running in no time!

who wants a set of perfectly good pistons??? lol

this one is dented from the spark plug i'm assuming?? i dunno how it would hit the plug though unless the piston came off the rod or the rod came off the crank.. but neither is the case.. so wtf?

too bad i didn't keep the crank :( i scrapped the block.. although i do have the flywheel and cams though

hang it from the rear view to remind you to always know what you're doing, that's what i did with mine lol

lol the pistons are a bit large to be hanging from the mirror

turbo/exhaust bolted back on.. waiting on a few misc. parts to finish up, intake gasket, spark plugs, ect..
