No I'm not doing anything with them, they are just going to the scrap yard.
Parts that I plan on using I handle like they were a glass vase, one bent
warped or twisted part and you basically have a very heavy paper weight
sitting in your garage.  I'm probably going to end up splitting the pistons 
if half if I can't find someone around here with a press that I can use, as
I said before the nearest machine shop wants $5 per piston to take the wrist
pins out and I've got 12 to do, that comes to $60 and I'm probably going to
get around $3 from the scrap yard for them. So I'd rather make a profit at
this rather than going in the hole.
