Suprise

I pulled my engine out of the Dart to just freshen it up. As I was in this process, I told my son "I hate to pull a bullet that runs this good". He said yeah, but you don't know when this bullet might misfire. This car had ran a best of 12:56 & always ran strong. Well I pulled it apart & found 3 pistons with broken top comp rings. The block was also cracked in lifter valley. I wonder how good this thing will run with a sealed up short blk. I'll let you know in about a month.

Sound's like you pulled it just in time to save some good part's :thumbup:

Yikes! Did you find out why the block was cracked in the lifter valley?
