Florida's Pro-Power ModMax, their a vendor here, great place to do business with and discount codes for SVTP members!
jimmysidecar i torn the motor down yesterday the scraper ring on #6 piston is stuck in the ring grove on the piston so that would explain the oil getting buy the compression ring. all eight pistons show signs of detanation i believe i caught this problem just in time. also on the inside of number 6 piston there is a hair line crack looks like the skirt was about to let go also. as far as the cylinders they dont look to bad there is a few scratches they may clean up with a good hone not sure. ima bring it to my machinest today the bearing look awesome there is no sign of any where on them also and the heads look to be ok to but ima have them check out also.
thanks guys for the input on find some one good to deal with on getting parts
