a lot of people have been wondering what has been up with this car so here goes.

Andy brought the car to us suspecting of low compression in cyl 4. We did a compression and leak down test and found that #4 was definitely low and most likely had a broken ringland.

Andy dropped the car off and we got to work asap. We got the old motor torn down and the brand new stock shortblock built back up in just a days time.

I decided to pull the #4 piston out of the old shortblock to see what actually happened as there was zero evidence on top of the piston.

here goes :D
the red arrows (my sick drawing skills) are cracks. aka broken

old shortblock

yay new wrinkle red vc's and new motor
