So I just want to get some opinions on the condition of these pistons... normal, not normal, etc. The sides of the pistons show some uniform scoring, but no deep scratches or anything... I've got a buyer on NASIOC for them and just want to make sure that they are OK. I don't want to stiff anyone...

These are just the passenger side pistons... driver's side are still in the block.

 
Ryan from seeing them in person I would say the pistons themselves look normal. Know if you sell them to the guy I would just make sure that he knows about your issues before the motor went. Maybe some new rings they might be good to go.

 
Ryan are the second rings wavy or is it just the pics? the piston on the left looks to have a bent second ring close to the ring gap??? could be me?? other then that slam the skinny pedal once in a while man holy carbon.

yeah the carbon is fairly fresh - still oily

The rings looked fine, but the ring gap (?) when it was inside the cylinder was a little too big for my liking....

 
there was a lil piston slap on the piston when she was still in the motor.

Ryan just imagine what my pistons are going to look like when we take my motor apart. I am burning more oil then you are and have been for like 6 months now. lol. Going to be crazy. I have some sti pistons I will sell you, lol.

Well the rate at which I was burning oil was a lot more, (quart and half every 150 miles). But I only ran it like this for a week or so.

Yeah it should be interesting to see your pistons!

 
Yea I am up to about 1qt every 100 miles. But I have been doing this for awhile no. I guess in the last 6 months I have gone through about 15 qts of oil or so. LOL crazy right.

 
Lobstah you know what you saw my car doing in your garage the other day when I was giving it gas? Imagine that but like 5 times worse and darker when I get on it at highway speeds.

 
I take that back

Seems like you guys are having the same issue (Well, "were" would be right for Ryan) (Or "was", IDK, i aint from around here

Holy crap Chris...

Like I said to be honest I have no idea at all how my car is still running.

People talk crap all the time about Subarus and there problems with there motors. Well I have to hand it to my car, she burns this much oil and has **** the bed yet. This has to be some kind of record here. lol.

 
whatever...just because Russia and China like each other doesn't mean you are from asia. You are from a cold F'in place is where you are from.
