Ok folks, education time for me. Please point out the areas in the pics that show that it's shot. The first obvious sign I saw was scoring on one face of the rotor, as well as a busted apex seal.

Vosko, I'll have to post pics of mine when it comes apart to see who's was worse

It is.
I remember seeing some pistons that were used in the touring car championship. You won't believe that the pistons were cracked and the broken crank was held in place by the crankshaft. The thing still ran and won.
