Inside of the engine I meant

I knew what it was when I got it...no disappointment here.I got my reg cab and lots of parts as a bonus.A motor swap was the intension from the get go.Theres nothing shocking inside the engine...just a lot of smashed valvetrain.

Oh come on, share the carnage!

Well...ok,it's almost out so il rip it down and show off the broken parts.a real good example of what happens when uneducated people think they know what they are doing and the worst part is with all the reman stickers all over it tells me it's not very old.hope the pistons didn't get hit to hard and a set of heads is all it will need.

If it wrecked the valvetrain, it surely allowed the valves to contact the pistons, wouldn't you think? I'd expect the tops of the pistons to look like a golf ball. :eek:
