    nice... any pics of the melted piston?
    There is not much to see on top of the pistons and I have not taken the pistons out of the block. I don't think there would be much to see other than the sides of the pistons and rings would look similar to the cylinder walls. I have already taken the block of my engine stand and was just going to send it off to the scrap yard as is. The 3400 should be here Wednesday and I have been getting things ready for that. If my 3400 was already here I probably would not have even taken the time to pull the heads off. Anyone want to buy a 3100 long block with only 71,000 miles on it?

        I already have 2 sitting in my basement, next to my 3500 shortblock. Don't think I need another to add to the collection.

            Actually, no. One is my old engine prior to my 3400 swap. And the other... oddly, I can't remember where I got that one from. Hmm... I think I got it from Chris (GPXSS), but I can't remember why I wanted/needed it.

            Oh well...
