[QUOTE="Riddick, post: 16556430, member: 143188"] Sorry to hear, this is everyone's worst nightmare after installing new mods on a car. Since you verified compression and saw visual damage to the piston the motor needs to come out. To fix it properly you will need to either bore the block or purchase a new block and start new. Even if you dont see any damage on the cylinder walls dont take any chances, bore the cylinders to ensure they are true. Your cheapest option is picking up a used Gen 1 short block and throwing that in there. I am not sure what your budget is so its hard to recommend a course of action. Im curious to what caused it, my initial guess is you went super lean. Did you install a new fuel system or at least a boost a bump? If the latter, did you verify the booster was working? Since the tuner is left out of this thread will you post the log for us to look at? Best of luck Leonard [/QUOTE]
