Ill pop the dp off at some point and check to see if there is any coolant. I suppose there could be some leftover from the blown hg.
Ill do a compression test monday but im sure atleast 1 piston is broke. Ill venture a guess to say #5 will be the lowest.

Drove it to work today. It was bucking like crazy. Not all the time but about every couple seconds for about half a second it would kind of die. The radio, cluster and all that stuff would be fine but I noticed the rpm gauge drop quick then go back to where it was.
Last timne it did something similar to this it was a wire in my MS box shorting out on a pin. Checked that wire and it is not shorting. None of the other ones seemed to be touching. Put it back together and took it for another little drive and it did it a lot less frequently. I guess ill drive it home and see how often it does it. Then take the box back out and double check the wires again.
Eventually I will get around to doing a compression check.

You may have some debris on the sensor. Check for metal filings
