340 Block cylinder


HI guys, this is my first post so go easy on me. lol


I had an issue with my car over heating and looks like I might have killed the rings on one of the pistons. Cat started smoking and burnt pretty much all the oil. Long story short it looks like only one piston was the problem. I know I have to replace the rings and will be doing all pistons. issue is there is some pitting on the same cylinder as the ring failure. Not sure if its bad enough to cause problems, I was thinking I might have to sleeve the cylinder and re-boring. It's just enough that I can just feel it with my finger nail when I scrap at it. Your thoughts???

Send it in and get it freshened up.. If it has an issue, you got to start at the basics...
Find a Machine Shop that are familiar with Mopars and they will get it straightened out.
Keep us posted...
