Buy a borescope, inspect cylinder #1, and try to find a way to get the piece out, if its still in there.
This would be a good idea instead of bitching about the car not running right.

No point in bashing the guy anymore he did the damage already, I'm sure he learned from his mistake. I just hope the damage is not to bad

This, I just wanted him to realize to take his time...and sometimes you need to just walk away and chill out.

Well, I won't be missing this site. There were only a handful of posters worth interacting with.
I'm aware I fucked up. No need to mock me. Your making fun of me won't help, but oh well. It's no surprise this message board is dying.
Good luck in life, guys. I really did appreciate guys like ECaulk and Snail_SS. Some of you were awesome to me over the years.
I'm out, though. Goodbye.

If you're wondering, I looked on the facebook and he sold the car. The glass piece FUBARed the cylinder.

Some of you sure love to kick a guy when he's down.

Hopefully this will be a good learning experience.

Seriously this is a forum to help people. Not kick them while they're down. I hope the op made the right decision.

Depends how much money he lost. If he lost a few grand then that's no good because he is now without a car. If he rebuilt the bottom end he would have lost a few grand too but would have had a car to drive in the end. All comes down to the $

This makes me want to rent a garage to buy cars like this, fix them over a weekend, and then sell for a 400% profit.
