Broken rings/ ringlands? I used to have an RB25DET which blew the dipstick out because of broken rings but it still idled ok and went well (well quite well).

And yes get your "mate" to pay for it.

It was warm. And yeah I think I might just rip the motor out and chuck new pistons and rings in. Got standard pistons. Power fc is registering knock quite badly.

Real knock as in pinging, can you hear it? If it is registering knock with 700hp on stock pistons it wasn't your mate that broke the rings it was inevitable!!

Re the pistons, as long as they are the right size and the rings are installed properly, most pistons fail from pinging tune or installation error, almost never from just too much combustion pressure.
