Closure

Sucks man, I know the feeling. 
I didn't properly gap my first rings in the NV and I know that's what lead to it's demise. 
Live and learn!

A little bit beyond the scope of some engine rebuild in a bottle

But thats what a piston can look like and still hold 70 and 90 psi

As much as it sucks at least this chapter can be closed now as far as your build goes.

Smoked like a Snoop Dogg concert on April 20th.

When i limped it as slow as possible you could still see and smell a cloud of burned oil behind the car . Any sort of throttle left a solid lingering cloud

Should have just added some of this. Would have sealed it right up!

 

But all jokes aside, Im glad you figured it out. Knowing what the actual problem was , and that it wasn't your fault is a nice piece of mind.
