Cylinder 2 on my car compression tested 0. i was thinking just a burnt piston or bad rings. especially since all my other cylinders comp tested 155 to 160 on all other 7. Appartently i got a bad tune... i bought it modded so my fault for not getting it retuned... i got a replacement piston but now that the block is scored im thinkning on a new block. Any ideas as to what i should do???

Why did you buy a piston before you knew what the tear down would reveal?

How deep is the scoring?

If a .020 over bore will clean it up you can rebuild what you have with new pistons and rings etc.

If you have E-85 handy Id do the aluminator.

There are sevel shops that can put together a good long block using alot of your existing parts.
