    Got the motor pulled this morning and got the number one piston out. The ring land is broken but the cylinder looks fine. The good news is I have an extra piston and rings left over from the original build. See attached pics of piston and pieces of the ring land and one ring with some pieces that came apart from the ends. THANKS FOR THE HELP TONY!!

    It's a little hard to tell but there is a chunk of the ring land missing from this side of the piston.
