Well it looks like I dont have any real issue with the rings. My Total Seal top rings were lined up wrong on #8 causing the bad leakdown. The oil gap was in line with the wrist pin on #4(there is a gap where the pin is exposed) thus the oil in #4. Ill be able to fix all that easily.

Hopefully today I can solve the head gasket delima and get some parts on the way.

Now all I have to do between now and Feb 21st is,
Put the motor back together and get it running
New 5" collectors and exhaust tubing with collector tethers
Put on the rebuilt anti-roll and scale it

Sounds easy if you say it real fast!
