For those of you who have broken or damaged internal parts such as rings, burnt pistons, lifters, pushrods, spun bearings etc. list your ailment and the symptoms. Such things could be any abnormal noises, condition of spark plugs, smoke/color of smoke, visible leaks, smells, ses lights, performance issues, drivability, did it happen over time or all at once, your mods at the time, and the possible cause. This could serve as a reference for those of us who may think we have a serious condition and maybe we could even make it a sticky.
