snapped piston lol wtf
Snapped con rod is more like it,
Work involved would be a total re build if it hasn't dug a large chunk out of the bores, and if it has your going to need a new block possable crank could be damaged to.. Unless your getting it for silly cheep then walk away

i think that guy needs his head examined, if the cars tapping quickly then its lifters so knock him down to a low price saying you'll take it with a duffed engine, and just replace the lifters jobs a gooden and you've saved yourself a bit of moneys
