#2 and 3,4,5 are all that good and all look about the same. No scoring, hardly any pitting. 240k on the odometer but it wasn't working when I got the car, so, who knows, really. Other than the knock, the engine seemed to run really well, did not smoke and had lots of power.
#1 is shot as y'all say. What could have caused it? Well, the OIL ring on it was stuck and I had to break . I would speculate that it got stuck because of carbon, and then the piston got scored and it got even more stuck mechanically. What I mean by 'mechanically' is when I got the piston out, the ring groove was distorted enough to bind the ring in one please. I doubt that this was the source of any kind of knock though. But still, good to fix. Emery cloth - only to remove larger chunks of carbon. I will give paint stripper a try.
