I dropped a piston....

And now its ruined(collasped the skirt 0.005), The unfortunate part is that they couldnt even Find one that was anywhere near the proper weight(736grams), The next question is what do I Do now?

Summit racing brand hyperteutectic pistons, 89.00 plus shipping and handling. It'll take all the money that I was planning on using to finsh my valve train but Is Critical to finishing my engine. The good news is If i want to lighten and balence my connecting rods I'll be able to do so since Im putting a fresh set of pistons on.

the old red truck is beat to F!#@

we finished pulling and tearing down(yes it was tearing down as opposed to disassembling , ask me the difference sometime)my old mans engine, we got half a zippy bag full of piston peices a bent connecting rod and oil pump drive shaft, several spun bearings indicating improper clearence both oil clearence and side clearence. the good news you may ask, the ford motorsports cam we had in there suvived along with the lifters. over all an interesting project that really we shouldnt have had to do but ended up doing anyways.
