    No smoking gun to be found. Guess it was just blowby, possibly on the valve seals as well. Oh well. Gotta ask elliott about the valve tips and see if its normal. Cylinders still have cross hatching

    You'll have to pull the piston out of the bore to see for sure if a ringland is cracked.

    Pistons do look pretty clean. Any marks on the bores?

    Just some crosshatching. Will pull pistons carefully tonight. If nothing is found, I'll probably use this bottom end for the impala to speed up that process. For whatever reason it looks like the pcv catch can wasn't doing a damn thing.

    Nothing wrong with any of pistons, or rings, or bearings, this motor looked very good inside. It might go back together

    When we put that blower on my friends car we had a lot of big puffs of smoke, the tune was adjusted and fixed the problem. Now you can just get that 383 done and in the car.
