most broken rings i have found in engines fall out of the muffler as i take  
it off..this happened to me once on a corvair and several times years ago when 
i  rebuilt international harvester (cornbinder)  truck engines for a farm  
dealer, that were just plain wore out from abuse of non owner drivers.  other 
parts in the oil must have been hiding when the engine was put together??  i 
wish these engines could talk.
the corvair was a turbo and also had broken up an exhaust valve seat.   must 
have been really winding when it let loose.last loose parts in the oil here  
were bits of the side of a lifter..i have the remains here waiting to build a  
hard luck trophy.
