[QUOTE="ShockTherapy, post: 3759823, member: 19530"] For a small background on this truck/engine, check out this post. [url]http://www.nloc.net/vbforum/showthread.php?t=127277[/url] Here's the pics again that are in that thread of the carnage. [img]http://www.ayresweb.com/SonicL/partspics/piston_cylinder_3.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.ayresweb.com/SonicL/partspics/piston_top_1.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.ayresweb.com/SonicL/partspics/head_pic_1.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.ayresweb.com/SonicL/partspics/head_pic_3.jpg[/img] Definitely needs a new piston and head repair, that goes without saying. The cylinder wall is not scratched up, it only has what I would call some tiny micro-pits at various areas that you can't really feel, but you can see them. Honestly I don't even know if it needs honed out. I want to get a machinist to look at it and see what they say, but we think possibly just replacing the piston, fixing the head (new valve seats/valves, bowl repair, new head gaskets), and reassembly may be an option.
