Im not talking about engine out full strip just remove the sump and pull that one rod and piston put the other 3 on tdc and measure there hight do the same with the odd one then get the differance taken off if the rings are still with in tolerance and the shells ok then put it all back in how much power do u have can u not just use a small turbo escort h/gasket once u have sorted the odd piston seems a shame to give up on it everything can be fixed
