Thanks for looking at it. Wish I had learned more before I did something this stupid.

Anyway. I bought an LK9 motor today for 600 bucks.

Im assuming that the ring landings failed and the rings started coming apart. I was driving the car home and im guessing that with the motor still turning that the pieces came out through there while the intake valves were open. It wasnt a lot, just a half dozen small pieces.

You ordered the Saab motor right? Toss it in there and tune it. It's going to be reliable as long as you don't go nuts.

My car is still stock motor on a bullseye s256et @ 25psi and e85

Install parts, install tune file, log the the car and get it done quickly (don't take your time on logs) and don't beat the **** out of it on a base file.

Well i can freshen up seals rings pistons and bud my motor in process as long as my sleeves are ok, i like the idea of the saab motor but this way i can be done with the bottom end for 400 hp reliably.

I read some stuff and watched some Youtube videos. I did a TDC leakdown with compressed air and listened for air. I think is the crankcase getting pressure so its the top ring, somehow however the lower rings are keeping out oil cause there is noa blue smoke...

its not a ring its your ringland i gaurantee it. The reason its not burning oil is because the rings are still intact. Mine did the same thing. And if your lucky like me the sleeve may not be touched. When i tore mine down i couldnt visually see where it was broke until i removed the second compression ring on number four and a piece of my piston fell off lol
