Pulled this from a yard last week. D2AE-CA +.030" over block, forged L2416 pistons with a small dish in them, -.010" on the rods, haven't checked the mains but presuming same thus far.  Has been run and I see some slight scoring at the bottom of the stroke on the inner cylinders 2,3,6,7. Rod bearing lower cap looked nice, but then they always do!

I will pop a piston out and check for taper but the bore tops do not "feel" ridged, but the guage will tell for certain. Will post numbers when I can get to it.

Looks like it may have been balanced slightly as rod ends have sanding/grinding contours on them.   No harmonic balancer, it is toast, worst slipped outer ring I have seen in a long time!  Was in front of a C6 trans.

$275. Located in Santa Clara CA.
