welp... there's your problem.

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

[BLKGP]

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!

[BLKGP]

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




the 2 chipped ones










this one is cracked, if you look on the left side u can see it



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?



sooo 4 out of 5 pistons were damaged, not bad!

[Poil336]

shoulda gone for all five

[SilvaMan61]

whoah ****.. glad to see youre back on track with it all

[dpzelenak]

[jerZcavy4120]

Are you gonna build the motor up at all just as a safety precaution??

[TLSheff]

Sand, buff, paint and sell on ebay


j/k j/k don't do that

Glad to see it coming back together so quickly

[Supercharged99]

BINGO!!!

[BLKGP]

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

[Poil336]

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

[BLKGP]

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..
