Upon close inspection, my low mileage case has a gouge in #3 cylinder rendering it unusable.

So, I am returning all the re-ring specific parts (block, pistons, rings, etc) now. Going to get the heads off and if there is no damage to my short block, put the heads on. If the short block is in any way damaged, then do a full tear down and save up for a 3.8 build.

Glad I posted this, the responses really took some wind out of my sails, but that seems to have been a good thing.

Regards,

Silber
