If you dont see the on the tops of the pistons then you "might" not have broken one.
I remeber someone a while back when I was running 15psi on a stock ecotec telling me I would be crying when my rods became external...
Well there's all 4 external along w/ pistons, and funny thing is, I'm not crying, I'm actually REALLY excited.
Here's the bare block...

Yeah they are stock, and quite a bit of carbon build up on them, and yeah a lil burnt too, what can ya do, I've been pushing the limit, and my luck, for over a year now. I've finally been able to start putting together a motor that can stand up to the abuse that I'm going to throw at it.

Time to vent a little frustration...
Ok, so I got a new phone before Christmas and broke it, so I went to the Verizon store and had a replacement phone shipped to me. So here's my frustration, the phone came yestarday, same day as the cams were supposed to arrive, shipping company for the phone, FED EX, here's where the frustration comes in, according to FED EX, they could not locate my house, yet I had just recieved my phone from them on the same day that they could not locate recipient. How in the bloody hell is this possible? They can find me to bring me my phone, but not my cams, sorry I'm a little lost on how this is possible, and extremely pissed off at FED EX for being a bunch of fricking retards.
Ok, I'm done now, maybe I'll feel better when my cams FINALLY arrive, now they are 2 days late according to scheduled delivery.

Fed ex sucks..they held my turbo for 3 weeks at the border and sent it back to atp!!!!! All cause they didnt have my phone #..bastards!
I have never had a problem w/ ANY other shipping company until now. I will request that anything I order from now on be shipped via UPS if at all possible.

Looking good Skunk, I cant wait to see the finished product! BTW: Your car is the inspiration for my cavi. Not trying to copy youbut I sure as hell wouldnt mind having the same setup, lol, though Im going alot different route then you wiht my turbo setup.
In my area, there are distinct, and different fed ex deliveries, handled by different trucks.
For example. fed ex home delivery is one thing. fedex express is another. I had verizon deliver something and it was via fedex express.
also, there's fed ex ground.
So, potentially, if i had 3 packages coming in one day, they would all come at 3 different times. cause they are on different trucks. Also, if you wanted to pick them up from the fedex facility, chances are there are 3 different locations you'd have to drive through.
I feel your pain. I have more than once raised my fist in anger at fed ex. I hope you get the cams today.
Damn, I must of missed why you were taking the motor part.
