Alright so i bought a built 7m shortblock. I was checking everything over to see if everything was the same as what i had been told and to see what condition everything was in. Everything checked out fine. Now when i turned my motor over on the engine stand when i was looking at everything i noticed that a bit of oil had gotten past the piston on cylinder #5. Now its not like the motor still had quarts of oil in it when i turned it over. But it had just a little bit to make it drip on the floor. So should how concerned should i be about the bit of oil that seeped along the cylinder wall? Do i need to just replace the rings? Or is it more of an issue then that?
Some of the other pistons.
