another 109 block gone

[N2BUICK]

Had to share, this V6 setting in my storage for many years. I decided to tear it down, and got a surprise.
If this thing could talk.
Note the wear the piston pin has gouged into the cylinder wall.
How long did they drive this? Must have made a lot of noise.
Would like to know what it came in.
Its a 1986 date code, blue paint motor.
Two barrel intake, may have been a blow through turbo car?
I've never seen the entire piston missing?
Any bets on what the crank looks like?

That's nothing. I cracked into two cylinders right into the water jackets...sleeved both...and kept on racin'!

Would like to know what it came in.

A car with one hell of a "bumpin" stereo.

A sleeve and bore and it's as good as new. Don't pitch it. I'm sure there are many here that would take it.

early experimentation with cylinder deactivation

I'd check the rest of the block and magnaflux. if all else good, yes, sleeve it as noted.

I learned a lot from Dickie DiBiasse and his shop (now) Darkhorse. If the pdf attached below, it's a good read how more than 60 years ago, Dickie took a 283 'vette block out to 468 cubes for his altered. Sleeving and block work might make folks eyes open wide but not a big deal to keep an otherwise good 109 block or the late '85 140 block with the 20-bolt pan going. Heck, for anyone, #'s matching or not.

saw after posting, pdf did not attach. I'll email it to you.
