I'll let Steven elaborate on any questions as I was not there
So far looks like I need
1 piston
Head work and head gasket

Definetly repairable and shouldn't be down too long I'd imagine. They've had a lot of practice with Tyler's car I'm sure haha.

Hey that's a 7m. Different ball park.
But as for the motor I was at first super excited cause I put it back together and pulled the valve covers to listen and saw the intake cam gear was hitting the screw on the backing plate. I was like nooooo shit.
But that didn't fix it
Made the decision to pull the head and that's what was laying on cyl1. That's why it was intermittent, it would fall down into the valve relief.
But it needs a new HG, new piston, head work, and some arp nuts. Who ever took them off or on used the wrong size and I had to use an easy out on couple of them.
These pics for some reason look like crap.

thats kind of what just happened to me. Wanted to fix a "smoke" issue... and ended up replacing the engine due to things done wrong on the build. (kept the head.. shortblock wasn't worth rebuilding).

Doubt it since that piece stayed in the motor the whole time, and those others just sat on the intake port.
Even if it did there small enough and turbo was going slow enough to go threw a p-trim

No, they look like they were flat then got folded like a tootsie roll.
