After f'n with heads, I got pissed and ripped the engine back out, but still didnt see anything on number 2. I started pulling the rings off, I noticed a bit of a crack but I couldnt tell if it was cracked or scratched. I got down tot eh upper oil ring and popped it off, mind you all the rings are cherry. A friggan chunk of piston fell out. Looks lik the second ring land broke good. I guess those clevite pistons I bought were worth about as much as a chinese f'n hammer.

Been awhile I will post up some pics when I get home. I took it for a test drive the other day. Wired up the alt wrong and killed the exciter over night. Right now I basically need a full exhaust, and a battery. I really need to builde a surge tank as well

 

it would probably be finished but I've been working on a 5spd turbo conversion to my 87 montero swb
