    got the 302 broke down today. found a busted piston. the ring lance was broken between first and second ring. i think 40 over will get the scratch out. the rest of the motor was clean as if i was putting it together. never seen one that clean. the heads were in great shape.
    i have another 302 to break down tomorrow. maybe it will be better.
    once i get my tools put up i will take some pics. don't want "TOOL MAN TOM" of the tool patrol busting my chops for using the wrong tool again. he he he...frank...
