I was boosting and running great then car started to skip like it was running on 3 cylinders, but still ran center ring was in about 8 pieces top and bottom where still intact and held the side on the piston in place.
the engine had approx. 190000 miles on it I pulled it and replaced it with a strong 2 ltr from a wrecked 89 and since then have added 2.3 head from a 92 9000t and love it! After I pulled the motor I tore it down and all cross hatching in every cyl. was still visible and undamaged! but I did find a cracked knock sensor that may have been a good reason for the failure.
good luck with your new to you replacement engine,
Rick
