Default if i blew the rings/ringlands, would i have crap in my oil pan?

well a few weeks ago i did this, https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=484237 , for those too lazy it lost compression in cyl. 1&2. everything looked good on the block and cyl. walls. when i go to put the head back on i notice a 1/2" wide 1/4" deep spot between 1&2 where the gasket blew. so i put a stock head on, and still loss of compression in 1&2.

when i pulled the oil pan i was expecting to see broken crap, nothing, but there was some coolent in there, and i know thats not good. could i have burned them up and not do damage to the cyl. walls?

Coolant in the oil?

Nope, not good at all. But from what you said you had a blown head gasket, right?

With busted ring landings I'd expect to see some sort of unusual markings on the cylinder walls. You could've just collapsed the compression rings though. It's hard to tell with a blown motor...

You had some major detonation. You might as well pull those pistons out bro.

One thing you know for sure is that you messed some stuff up somewhere, you might as well tear it down and make sure that it didn't take out some other stuff as well... like bent some rods or something unusual and ghey like that.

its also possible the block will have to be milled again to get rid of that mark between 1&2.Please,keep us updated.Im plannin on the bagder sleeve set-up and wiseco pistons myself.

well the spot on the block is almost nothing, the big thing was on the head. as far as the rods their good, cause when this first happened, not realizing how bad this was i drove almost a mile they way it is.

but it looks like its coming out and gettting a rebuild at 2000 mi! just as i got my last turbo part in yesterday.

now the question is, do i drop a stock engine in and boost it for awhile, or should i jsut fix this one.
