Cylinder wall damage
So I think I've decided to keep my car, even though I've lost my license for 2 years.
The main problem is have with the car is the wristpin in cyl #6 is knocking hard. Keep in mind I've been driving the **** out of this car, even like this.
Because of my oil blowby problems during hard accel, I'm assuming that because of the beaten up wristpin, its actually causing the piston movement to be angled, therefore allowing oil by the rings on that cyl, causing the proliferous smoke shows i leave behind.
if this is even possible, i imagine it would create a very small oval instead of a perfectly round cylinder. what are the chances of saving this block for an overbore?

The only thing I know that makes one lose their license for 2 years is... You remember those commercial where the cop pulls the guy over and his car is filled up to the top of the door panels with beer?, which starts spilling out when he rolls down the window? 
That sucks, brotha.

You are still looking at it wrong.
You are looking at 'why you got caught'
and not owning up to the fact that you shouldn't have been driving at all.
I have (correction HAD) many friends who have gone through life looking at things the same way.
Take responsibility for your actions.
You are not the victim here.

if you must know, i was legally under the limit, but because i verbally stated to the officer that I "was drunk", i was arrested.
anyway, what makes you spew this pile of unwanted advice? it isn't related in any way to the original post. i was simply responding to the question of why i lost it, i dont need you to tell me i was wrong. i'm getting enough of it already.
