Well the old girl decided to lay down on me today.. maybe cause I'd toss a customer I'd be there hell or high water.. one of the two happened.. I heard a tick/click pulling out my driveway... Thought, well that was a new noise, oh well, it's running like it was. Got about a mile away and it started missing hard core and died... Hmmm. Check codes, map sensor code. Pop hood... Map sensor is still hooked up. Pulled dip stick and it was a gallon over full.. awwwww you're kidding.. started back up open throttle and limped back missing.. wife heard it missing at the house where it stalled! Motor never knocked loud, even after it cranked up, believe it or not.

Water came from a pair of cracks in the cylinder walls at the piston edges.
And then after I got my engine hoist from my buddies shop the front pump died in my wife's zj leaving us without any transportation except for feet. Coincidence? I think not. And I could not make this up if I wanted to.
Can't I just use high temp JB weld and put the piston back together and run it? Maybe make a new piston out of JB? The rings are still there... Maybe increase the plug gap to lower the compression? Lol I'm joking obviously.
