The last 302 I saw with a burned piston also had only 100K on it. Burned the piston, then raw fuel went into the crankcase, then it seized a couple rod bearings, bent a rod. Broke another (#'s 4 & 8) Still was running when I loaded it onto a trailer for the ride home.

Yikes! I hope I don't end up doing that much damage! I did drive it home 2 hrs from my in-laws back to my house at 75mph. I figured if she was gonna let go, then she was gonna let go. Still cranks up and runs, even with the skip.

I have finally found the problem. #8 cylinder only pumps up to 30 on the compression gauge. All the others put up a little over 140. Looks like the motor is coming out at just under 101k miles.
