    So these are taken about 1.5 years after the engine blew up, on the drive home from buying it.



    Granted it rusted some, but all I did was wiggle the cracked part of the block and....

    Top one is the best of the 6 pistons..bottom was the worst.

    did you buy it from a dealer or private sale? That really sucks man i would be pissed if the car i just bought started chipping pistons and put a hole through the block as i was driving it home.

    I bought it from a used car dealer, and signed the "as is", but it wasnt expensive, we even got the guy to pay for our motor..But I learned alot about the car, so it's all good...

    plus its badass to have a chunk of my block in my car as a reminder that I shouldnt run the car hard when its ****ing 100degrees....
