Pieces of steel in cylinder??

Well, considering how long it will likely take to build the 360 how I want it, the 318 may be in the car for up to a year or more. That makes me lean towards just buying a new crank, especially comparing the cost to the machining cost.

I failed to mention that that piston was the MOST damaged, not* the only one damaged. I’m amazed that the walls weren’t damaged, but sure enough, very smooth. Couldn’t feel anything with my fingernail. That said, I think I’m just gonna let my wallet take the hit instead of taking chances. Looks like more overtime for me!

*Edited to say the piston was NOT the only one damaged.
