LB7: Engine build questions

[shagy9888]

If it were mine, I would get my money back in a hurry. No way in hell it "ran", looks like it was already used for a boat anchor. Its hard to tell, but the one picture looks like the piston exploded. $.02

Witch pics the first one or the 2nd 2?

Very first picture, cylinder far right. What's going on in there?

Just full of water and dirty injector eating the piston up. Here is a pic of the front two on that same side. I would take a pic of it after I had cleaned it up but they all have PB in them now.

I don't want to piss in your Wheaties, but that thing might be toast. Did you crack open a few rod caps to see what the crank looks like? I would like to know how much/how far the water damage goes. Kind of a worst case scenario but hopefully the crank doesn't need turned, hopefully rod bushings are ok, and hopefully a machine shop can acid dip it and get the oil rifles clean too. Like others have said, money ahead just to get another short block. I would rather rebuild one with spun bearings than a rusty cylinder(s).
