Look at this cylinder wall!!! Damn, got this 6.0L motor w/only 10k on it. Today was warm so I decided to start tearing it down for the heads/cam. Everything looked perfect until I removed the drivers side head-this is what I found 
To make things worse I bought it about 6 months ago and it only has a 90 day warranty
What would you guys do if you were me?

The pics were too large-I hope this link works.

thats not bad. Just looks like some water got in there and caused a little surface rust. I would just clean it with some steel whool and decarbon the tops of the pistons.

Sorry about the link, the pics were too big to post-I am not that computer savy!
Anyway some of that is just surface rust but if you look closely at the pic that looks very spotted, there are a few areas of heavy pitting. I don't think that is
going to hone out. Also keep in mind I took those pics after scrubbing the wall with a scotch brite pad when I was still in denial.
Called the yard I bought it from but the guy who sold it was out-should be back
tomorrow. I'll keep you posted as to whether they make good on this or not.
