Looks like No Lil Red Barns pistons for me anymore. Guess I'll get a nice used on off fleabay. Won't have to stake the piston pin bearings in it like I did this one or reuse my pin either. Thanks guys for the info. Be nice to get the cylinder bore plated then I won't have to worry about a problem like that happening woth an af piston.

Well guys, I spent a couple hours of overtime today filling sandbags preparing for the river crest on Wednesday, hopefully I don't have to take a boat to work this week lol

Good luck to you! We are in a tornado watch in New York of all places right now...

Yep, I hear you. No fun putting all the work into something only to find out that it wasn't what they said it was.
 
The original Chevy Vegas engines would only last about 15k miles before they were shot. The reason was aluminum cylinders and pistons. This worked fine in the Can Am race cars, not so good in extended use however. Chevy later went to steel sleeves but by then, what was otherwise a decent little car's, reputation had been ruined. I had a friend in high school with one and it used more oil than gas, wow what a blue cloud, kinda inverted premix.
The only car my dad bought new was a 1975 chevy monza 2+2..Paint faded-door handles inside broke off,engine had to be resleeved-oil consumption and at 35000 miles the trans went out-I replaced the muffler at age 15(Mr. Mechanic) Learned real quick not to volunteer to replace anyones muffler!! LOL -also replaced the waterpump at 1 time. What a car-vega engine--David

Worked on a Cosworth Vega at the first dealership I worked at, had a black and gold one that had never been titled. Lift pump had stopped working and rats had chewed up the wiring under the hood. When you dropped something behind that motor it stayed, would fall out if you begged for it to. Had gotten it running and took it for a test drive to see what it could do, was not impressed. First car that I had ever seen with fuel injection, was used to carbs at the time.
