Pieces of steel in cylinder??

Because the valve seat got in the cylinder and beat the crap out of the piston... Then the main bearings got wiped out and the oil holes to the cam and lifters got plugged with bearing material and starved the top end for oil...

You have to identify the root cause of the failure and the subsequent damage to get it fixed properly...

I get that kk. My point is even Ray Charles, who is not only blind but dead, could see the engine ATE something. If all that was brought to me was the rods and Pistons it wouldn't matter to me if a seat fell out, a bolt got swallowed, or some MORON was setting his 1/2 wrench on his flying toilet and 20 minutes later, jumps in the car and pushes the throttle. Said wrench then went through the engine, beat up two cylinders on both banks, and caused said MORON to pull the heads, weld them up, replace a bunch of seats, guides and valves and then swallow his pride.

If you brought in the rods and Pistons AND the heads...that's a different discussion.
