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.

Crazy! Guess the cast pistons had enough.

Nice work getting it replaced. VERY nice.

I butted a ring last July in cylinder#5.

Pulled it apart light ball hone and put 1 new piston in it. Opened all the ring gaps up, and put it all back together and it's been fine since.

You didn't upgrade anything? That's a crap ton of work, I'm in the middle of it now.
