I am parting out a 420a. I blew a piston and it put a hole the size of a tennis ball in block. I bought a new engine so these are the parts i have left over. the engine was in great condition and i took really good care of it but i just ignored a bad piston ring for a few years and it finally went.

oh yea you do have a point about the head and crank. I was only going 35mph and i wasnt getting on it at all. It felt like it was running on 3 cylinders so i pulled into the gas station and turned it off. I tried to start it back up and it just went crunch crunch tink tink tink. I dropped the oil pan and my piston was in a million little chunks. I havent inspected the head yet maybe it is salvageable.
