I had 4 hours to spend on it today and heres what I got so far...
10 more minutes the block would have been out the motor mounts are disconnected and all the tranny 2 engine bolts are out.
I'm thinking piston skirt broken rings broken
I did compression and leakdown test...
1, 2, 4, had 150 each, 3 had 125... leakdown showed leaking past rings/piston...
No cracks on the top of the piston, once the block is out I will open the pan up and see whats up...
Head is going to be sent off next week to check for any problems clean it up and put aftermarket springs/retainers in.
Going to do Eagle H beam rods, Wiseco pistons (will be 2.1L after this)
Zip lock baggies are your friend when disassembling motors :-D
