Also of note... I took the heads off the junkyard 4.8 I got to find a badly scored cylinder wall. It looked like a piece of the porcelain from the (original and TRASHED looking) spark plug tip got loose and found its way between the piston and cylinder wall.

So now I am a bit stalled out on what exactly I am going to do with the engine. Time will tell.
