Default Think I lifted a ringland

Not 100% sure yet. #6 is showing a low compression reading. Think I did it a long time ago(ran it pretty rich) but it has been getting worse. Car would sound like it was getting really bad piston slap, would go away once it was warmed up. Hopfully it isn't too bad and I can just drop another stocker piston in it.

pulled the head, top of the piston looks good. Press on the piston and it drops like 1/2 an inch. Cylinder wall looks a little scored. Looks like it is all coming out this weekend.

^^^ I know.

Mine looked just like that and trust me it wasn't quiet at all. I had 2 bent rods and spun rod bearings and the crank was bent.
