hm
do you want a shortblock?
you can have it, for free....just pay shipping if i have to ship it..
it's bare and had a melted piston, needs some bore work...bearing caps are fine..

I'm just curious, how much damage did the melted piston do and how much of an overbore would it need
I ask because I was recently shown photos of a block that had had a piston holed from detonation and I was curious how much borring that would need.

I would think any amount of bore would mean....
either a sleeve or boring to 82.5 mm and larger custom pistons.
My interest was in a RS4 block that had been damaged and whether a bore from 81 to 82.5 would be sufficient. Remember, I have a 3.0L crank. So 82.5 mm is ideal for me.
If I had a damaged block such as this, that's how I would use it -- overbore to 82.5 and then use a 3.0L crank.

thanks...just trying to make it so you can do things in steps
and as I said below, if I can get better pricing on turbos and even make the work a bit more efficient, I would look into lowering the price a bit more.
