The guy ripped you off if he said he put new rings and bearings in it. There is no way he would've missed a broken piston.

its weird because the truck runs really good.. a lot of power.. so I hope its just the valve seals. If that doesnt fix it, the guy i bought the motor off said he would take care of the problem.

I hate to say it but it sounds like you got ripped off. Lucky number 7 is usually the first piston to go.

If it spun a bearing on # 5 I would hope they put an other crank and rod in it. or maybe its a complete different engine they gave you.
