this piston came out of the motor in my trans am (i bought it this way) it ****** exploded lol there was a hole about the size of a golf ball in the side of the block, the other piston that died (didnt get a pic) was cracked in half and the rod was snapped in half. idk what happened, i think it was bad machine work, but the block was to mangled to tell, it had .020 over bearings in it though.


someone did something wrong lol
