I second (or what is it? 20th?) the nice part,... but a cracked piston is FARRRR from unheard of in a 617. the upper ring lands shatter all the time from limited driving and carbon building up between the PC and the cylinder wall... DG says it's cause driver's don't use DP often enough... Me? I say Italian tune up baby!!!
anyway, good luck on the motor, Whunter is in your kneck of the woods, perhaps he's willing to help ya!
Just a thought, but if it's pouring out blue smoke, be sure to do a compression test BEFORE you pull the head... it could be a turbo seal dumping oil into the motor... then before you pull the head/PC, pull the turbo, or the intake and see if it's full of oil...
