Here's a few shots of the pistons I pulled out today..
The top ring in cylinder 5 was broke in half but still in tact otherwise.
The top ring in cylinder 6 was shattered into about 12 peices, 2 of which where melted into the ring grove, you can see them in the second pic.
All 5 other pistons look great, still have the fine grooves on the skirts, but 6 looks like it was drug down the highway. Find out tomorrow how bad the cylinder is, I'm doubting honing will be enough..
