i mean like how would it run??...also how would i know if any of those things went wrong without doing a compression test??...im also asking because when i took out my number 2 and 3 plugs there were wet and one of them fell apart in my hand

well with 4 broken ring lands mine drove fine. As I put more miles on it the idle started to drop a lil bit and you could smell something like burning oil. Didnt have much power and smoked a lil bit once warm. I actually still beat the junk out of mine. Do a compression test and compare it to the numbers in the FSM.

mine ran with holes in 2 pistons, but if I got into too boost, everything blacked out behind me.
