Odd question I know. But I'm curious what people do with all there engine internals that get broke or bent or whatever. They just getting thrown out?

If the damage was bad enough, the part goes on my "wall of shame"....otherwise the parts go to the recycler.

Well if anyone has stuff they are gonna throw away on me I would pay for shipping of course. I don't break my truck enough to have spare parts lying around.

I have a LB7 piston I dropped on the concrete and cracked. Its still intact but useless, if you want it its yours. Best I can remember its cracked on the skirt.
