Thinking of picking up this setup off a friend. It's a Longblock but taken apart. The pistons got some minor scarring on the side, but not sure if I can re-use them or not. One pistons is not re-usable for sure but the rest not sure.

If I get it I plan on replacing some stuff:

rod bearings
water pump
headgasket
cam seals
timing belt

anything else?

It's a LS Vtec . . . . . B16 Head LS Bottom Eagle Rods SRP Pistons. Anything else u guys would recommend? It's gona be boosted. Any suggestions would be great . . . this is gona be a little side project for me

Thanks Guys . . . . i'll try and get pics of the pistons. Also is there a way to tell if the crank is bad? The guy said it is, but I find it hard to believe that the crank is rubbish just from a spun rod bearing.

the piston is messed up for a reason, the sleeve might be warped.

well is it a fixable issue if the sleeve is warped or is it totally garbage. The block was honed I know that, but I just figure I ask these questions on here for a second opinion so I don't buy a bunch of junk you know what I mean?

Any info is helpful to me, just trying to make a decision before it sells, but I don't want to buy stuff that is useless or worthless.

The rods are still fine, one piston just has some scarring . . . . not missing chunks of metal just some scratches, head looks perfect, just my concern is the pistons, and the crank, and well possibly the block
