Well they found today that 5 of the 8 pistons had either no or very little bearing left. if they have not discarded things I will get pics. So new turbo and kits for all 8 pistons. All other bearings, crank shaft etc... look good. Head has no damage so no signs of over heating. So they hope to get most done next week and then the mechanic will complete the cruise control and replace all of the air valves and we should be good to go.
