that sucks. why didnt you just rebuild that engine? a blown piston ring isn't all that bad. you could have thrown in some high compression pistons while you were at it!

it was a blessing. i was happy that it blew up. i have the engine out and am ready to put the other in. i need four hours and a friend to get it done though which is hard to come by at the same time.

Before I'd run it I'd pull the plugs and spray some WD40 or PB blaster in the holes and let sit for a hour or so them manually turn the motor ever to make sure that a ring isn't stuck to the cylinder wall.
