I got the engine diagnosed at Southern Automotive by Bill Parham. He said the broken piston was caused by detonation which was caused by a ballast being removed from the distributor. This caused the distributor to run at the wrong voltage causing a break in a forged piston. he said there is no question in his mind this is what happened. Since i bought this car used the seller did not disclose this pre existing engine problem and very dangerous modification. The repair cost is going to be $3,500. i'm trying to get the previous owner to cover the expense but they are saying that they wont. i think i am going to have to sue the previous owner and the dealer i bough the car on consignment from. any input?


thanks
