i have another block and crank, about a dozen rods, but i hope its something simple like a cracked piston

Why not just begin a super slow, super thorough build of the other block, focusing mostly on building a reliable engine? If there's something wrong with your current engine that's easily fixable you'll have a backup so you don't have much down time if it happens again, or you'll have another engine to swap in asap. Even if your current plant is an easy fix, your compression numbers are flirting with rebuild time anyway

If you need any engine parts Glen just lemme know and i'll ship them down. I'm STILL moving out of my shop and finding it difficult to move all my stuff from my 24x54 shop to a 13x22 garage n 2 sheds...hope it's a temp thing.

No joy on the 82 e-brake, i take all that stuff off and put on driveline ones anyway.

Hate to hear about your bad luck Glen! Hopefully it's nothing too serious!

Keep us posted.

thats what i was thinking myself

i have a good stock 22 block thats stripped bare, and a stock crank just in case the current cranks fubared

i was at the doctors office from 930 am till 2pm yesterday, then went to my lawyer, then my sis wanted to get some "good buys" on meat at a supermarket in HotSprings

i got home around 8 pm, i didnt do crap today

maybe tomorrow

what??? what happened??

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #2949 on:** Sep 05, 2009, 08:46:46 PM »

well, i got the engine pulled apart today, found some bits-o-piston in the oil pan

then pulled the head off

#3 piston came apart, basically most of the top ring land is gone, and parts of the top ring were in the header and stabbed into the bottom of the head, pretty sure i can fix the damage to the head but $I\'m Down$

i need to find some .060 over pistons or a new block $I\'m Down$

pics tomorrow

You still have that talldeck block I was wanting to get from you right? If so have it bored and use it. If ya can't fix the head let me know, I have a 20r sitting here in need of use.

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #2952 on:** Sep 06, 2009, 11:12:25 AM »

a 20R motor or just the head??

yep, i have the block i guess i need to get it over to the machine shop, it would be so much easier to find some good .060 pistons, HEY your engine is bored .060 over what brand pistons do you have

WTF would cause that bad casting on the piston ? or the valve smacked it how are they ?

Dr.Maxwe001 · « **Reply #2955 on:** Sep 06, 2009, 11:25:27 AM »

I'm keeping up with this on my BB

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #2956 on:** Sep 06, 2009, 11:38:19 AM »

valves are fine, it broke just like the others did back earlier, like 4 years ago, i think when i blew the hg a few weeks/months ago it must have cracked the piston

Did the piston actually come apart or is that the aftermath of detonation?

BoG-ToY · « **Reply #2961 on:** Sep 11, 2009, 12:38:14 AM »

weird question for yah, how bad did it scar the cylinder? I see lots of aluminum, but nothing too abrasive? did it actually take out the cylinder? (please keep in mind hat it is almost 1am and Im tired, as well as the fact that I am looking at pictures, vision might be blurry)
anyways...Ive seen people do worse? depending on how bad any grooves might be... could you throw a hone through it to fix it?
