got some pics of the pistons and rods out of the car so you can get a better look at whats happened, by the looks of it, its spun a shell, melted it, and was running for a little while without a shell before the pummeling became to much, luckily i may be able to get away with a crank regrind, gunna take it to a pro to get a verification though. but i was also thinking charlie, that the guy who inspected it couldnt have done it all that well, because he left a 2 inch chunk of conrod and end cap sat in the engine. but the casing is fine the bolt on the left side is really tight also, so
