Ive never seen wear patterns like this before. I def know its not supposed to be like this, and has anyone ever run these pistons? I payed for a "forged" motor and have sealed power aluminum pistons, stock rods, what looks like a stock crank and clevite bearings. Id say I got FAR from what i payed for ![MAD](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_mad.gif)

The motor had 5438 on it and literally .1 of a mile with a bad lifter
Weird **** on the crank. looks like they went to drill/balance it and fucked up

I noticed both sides of every piston has wear around the oil rings at the top of the skirt. Im pissed and will be making a few angry phone calls tomorrow
Main caps and a bad #4 bearing, but then again no bearing really looked anything other than horrible

WOW i'd be pissed too, I hope you post up who made this mess! From the pictures it looks like the crank got smacked by something AFTER it was run for a while. This is why I only use top shops who have spotless reputations. Every time I've used the average shop there have been problems. I was doing a Jag motor for a classic 60's Jag and price was no object. I used a local guy who had a good rep......yep you guessed it he fucked me over good. Customer was beyond upset...pulled the entire car and did the rebuild hinself. Made me look like a fool!
Good Luck
ps i just noticed this was done in cali........NEXT!

Never ever run without oil and lowest pressure it ever was was 30psi on a hot day last summer. I payed to have the motor built brand new and it was installed and then i drove it. It was supposed to be a completely forged motor tho
