74SDformula,
Yeah. I don't even know what to say.
shoebox1.1,
Thanks. I certainly learned a lot about engines. I'm looking forward to some drive time!
ponjohn,
There was "trauma" to the piston skirt. I sent the bad piston to a respected machinist who my buddy has been using for close to 20 years. He along with a few other guys that know what they're doing state that the piston likely touched the head during the original dyno failure when the number 5 rod spun a bearing. The machinist analyzed the piston and said the piston had been "smoothed" out in attempt to mask the damage when it hit the head. I'm not trying to throw Paul under the bus here, I'm just repeating what the machinist came up with after analyzing the piston.
AG,
I have no idea what that means but maybe someone can chime in. (grivera)
