    Alright. Sounds like I need to get the block disassembled and taken to a shop to get a 100% on whats going on with this block. Thank you all for the replies and I will post an update with more information when it comes around. Well time to sell some pistons!

    Would the pistons I have work with those rods? or would I still have to get different pistons? What would a set of yours run?

    Pistons

    Here are the connecting rods I have with the pistons in the first post. I am not sure what the stock length rod is. Thank you for the information. I will have too look and see what that is. As I mentioned I plan on taking it to a shop and have them inspect it before anything goes back in.

    I have not measured it yet. But from what I would believe its stock, just had work done to improve the stock motor. So far it had a very nice multilayered metal head gaskets, new oil pan gasket, head studs, and a metal intake manifold gasket.

    I will be going through the engine to see whats been moving around in there. I hope everything stayed in the pan. As far as the timing gear, apologies for the ignorance new to the insides of these engines, why would parts of the timing gear be in the oil pan? I may find out myself when...

    Thanks for the reply. I do plan on taking it apart and having it truly inspected by a machine shop. I checked all the other cylinders before taking it out of the car and all had great compression, 150-160. Cleaning out the oil pan, there were a few small chucks of metal, but that was it and the...

    Pistons

    Update: Looks like the piston melted and did not score or engrave the cylinder walls. Attached are a few pictures showing that the metal from the piston coated a portion of the cylinder wall. I believe I may just hone and clean the cylinder wall and use a stock piston again. The coolant was...

    Thank you for the replies, apologies on the delay. I just got the motor out two days ago and am still working on the disassemble process. I do have different connecting rods as well. I am unsure what they are as I have not looked that much into them. I do have stock pistons that have some use...

    Pistons

    Hello all, I just put together my 87' Regal and found out that cylinder 3 has no compression. After taking a snake camera down the spark plug hole I found out a portion of my cylinder is mission on the top side. I have a set of pistons by diamond, attached are a few pictures. It looks like the...

    87 Buick half roller

    I do not know much other than my father purchased this car back in maybe 08? and has had it since in our barn. I have a title for it and all is clear for the VIN.

    Barn full of GN/Buick parts

    Yes, all this was accumulated over the years my father collected. I made a introduction post stating what his user names where, all that I could gather, I do not remember them all. I just hope I can give these parts to others who will need/use them rather then sitting on the selves in our barn.

    Barn full of GN/Buick parts

    Thank you Keith. I would put prices if I knew what they were and if I had a picture of each part. I will condense what is left after this first initial rush into a smaller easier to know what is there format when some of the items are gone. I already have an excel spread sheet going with who is...
