Well here it is after a little taking apart. Tech still has more to do then its off to the machine shop and shopping for parts



So far he only removed cylinder 3 because it looked the worst upon head removal



What doesn't match the other 3 here??



Skirt of Cylinder 3



Basically as it looks now, the block, head, and crank are to go to a machine shop for remachine and leakdown testing. New rods, pistons, rings, bearings, oil pump, headgasket, studs, clutch, and he named a few other things in Russian that I didn't quite understand haha. Told me to come by next week and pick up the stuff once he takes everything else apart and inspects it. Let the $$$$ roll :'(

Explains all the misfires on cold start (bad ring gaps probably mixed fuel and oil) and knocking until the engine was warm. I think it also explains why oil was seeping from my cap and hoses, pressure was leaking from the block to the head or vise-versa.
