I think these are my options:
Drop oil pan and see what happen - possible replace piston.
Find a drop in engine and just replace the whole thing.
Send the engine out to get built.
What do you guys think? Just sucks I am have to do this but I want to do it right. I have all winter to get it working and I have a full shop in the garage. I would just follow the ISTA steps to pull the engine.
I have FBO with the pure stage two turbo and the XDI fuel pump.
Any input would be great.
Thanks

I would replace rod bearings and upgrade pistons. That way you can do preventative maintenance and also have upgraded pistons to hold 800hp for the future if you want more power.
