sootman said:burnt oil, burnt piston particles, with a pair of dikes it will come off. ( and not the rosie odonnell kind either.):hehe:
sootman said:DAMN! Ty I am trying to keep a positive attitude here! If you have to tear that motor down just think of the 1000's of HP you are going to have now!!:rockwoot: *nx* :ft: :st:

The problem with them and if a dealer were to fix it is, they'll only do it to stock specs.
trik396 said:I'm surprised it's #4 and not 6... and it's amazing how good the other pistons look from your post on DTR. Are you going to rebuild or get a new shortblock???
sootman said:ouch!!!! What does the cylinder wall look like? whats the combustion chamber look like? #4 valves don't look banged up or burnt.? any other pistons burnt?, or even cooked a little? if everythingelse looks o.k. I would fix whats broke and go after it again. not the same way though.
