Markmurphie, here are the compression results. Added oil and gained 20-30psi. Pics are top to bottom cylinders 7, 8, and 6.

Ouch, sorry to see.I bought a full set of pistons, rods, rings. When I get the energy I'm going to pull the motor, pull the drivers head and see what the damage is. Guessing ringlands from excessive detonation. Hoping I can just slap the pistons in and throw it back together as long as there is no head damage. But I need to open it to know what's wrong for sure. I had a complete motor and trans with 9k miles in the works for $3500 but seller backed out.
You in Georgia???Just an update the ringlands on both cylinders were intact, but as soon as the piston came out, they just crumbled. No cylinder scoring. Anyway I had a new short block installed for free. Don't ask.
I'm guessing the same thing happened to mine. I lost compression on the same two cylinders. I'm slowing working on rebuilding the engine myself. I have the engine out, but haven't taken it apart yet. I'll post some pics when I do.Just an update the ringlands on both cylinders were intact, but as soon as the piston came out, they just crumbled. No cylinder scoring.
