cracked ringlands (pics) Here are two pics. Not very good. 2nd is definitely broken....3rd looks cracked...and top looks about to burn thru. I also see where I was getting close on a headgasket near a water jacket on number 8 cylinder. Cylinder wall is unscuffed There is a little dent in number 6 where i smacked the piston with a valve but5 didnt bend a pushrod. I did that the first week i had the car i think on the 2-3 shift <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: cracked ringlands (pics) Any background refresher on the reason for breaking the engine down again?
FWIW, my mech was against head studs and doing ARP rod bolts with the rods installed.
