all the time and labor put into that motor but least she has a new rebuilt head. i guess the option now if the will is there to proceed on going in after the rings or setting that motor aside and grabbing a sedan with 110,000 miles and gank that motor.
the price would probably be the same with time and labor in replacing the rings.
or heres and option leave the motor as it is, buy a sedan (i found sedans have few miles,.. well the ones i found, just passed a sedan for sale down the road) wait wait im getting off track.
grab a sedan for 1200 buxs (non turbo the motor would be pristine) with around 110,000 pull the motor, drop it in your car, drop the fried motor in the sedan and sell it on jee bay.
list it as it is, and if you get 250 or more it will pay for the rebuild.
and your sitting with a sweet motor ready to be wired or hooked up (turbo that is).
or the option is there to continue with the motor, pulling it (and i know you didnt install it yet but if it was, pull it and just rip the guts out of it leave it on the hoist and start to dig bottom up until you reach the head,
(make sure to take the spark plugs out), and just gut it.
rebuild it brand new (rod bearings, rings, heck might as well boar it out a little more push that suxer to a 2.6... wouldn't that be something.
dang just talking about doing this is making me want to go rip the motor out of my car.
but what ever you decide keep us informed.
one more thing, its almost next to none the top of the block would be warped, i mean heck... thats why we use aluminum heads, so they can warp.
im sure if the block was dropped off the eiffel tower it would bounce once and be just as good as before it was dropped.
and one more thing to think of.. was all the cylinders reading at 90 or were a few in the upper 130 you know just all over the chart.
what im getting at is if all the champers had a reading of around 90-100 then perhaps the compression tool is whacked and the motor is fine
it would be just as hard to toast all four piston rings even in a catastrophic melt down, to burn all four chambers the motor would have to be driving with no oil for 6 months (im thinking of a elderly woman lives in the country, runs to town to get groceries and then drives back home, car never gets above 48 mph)
and along the lines of driving on the hwy. the car would have to have no oil for around 10 to 15 miles driving 80 mph to toast the rings, and still there could be one cylinder that could survive.
the readings of grandmas motor would be around this 20,45,18,9
the hwy motor, 60,32,100,75
both motors are fried but still there are wide variations between chambers, if your motors reading 90 accost the board the motor may be fine, that is if its not puking out clouds of oil.
