when u go above 7000 rpm !! check the PIX G5X3 + patriot stage 2 ..... and when reached 7,400 rpm KABOOOM .. and here is the pix ...
we r lucky here in saudi arabia we have the ls1 every where so we took a short block from the junk yard for $ 420 .. lol
this is happened a week ago and we r driving the car now with new shortblock and stock heads ,,
patriot heads had some scratches near the valves ,, i think we still can use them
ill take my time polishing them .. if not ill send them to the nearest pepsi factory so they can recycle them to a cans 
please guys tell me if u need more pix for the heads or for the broken block .. just tell me what angel u want me to take the pic from ..
P.S the late engine was on a 2001 z28 ,

we were racing a modded ZR1 LT5 ... and we wanted to give the max , we wanted to teach him a lesson lool , we wanted to have the longest distance we can ,
it was a non nitrous race thats why we hit it to the limit ,

i dont know how much it will cost u if u want to ship from saudi arabia but i know it costs 2 much .. for instance when we bought the heads it cost us 500 + dollars to bring it here ! and when we shipped the rear end ( MOSER ) it cost us almost 1000 dollars ,
i really envy u guys , i wish i can go back there
P.S i was raised in the states , greele colorado , and my brother was born there and i used to go there every summer but after the 9/11 thing everything turned upside down ,

yeah this is the piston ring , if u observed the block pictures the crack ( hole ) is at the site of piston 6 .. where this piston ring coming from , i would do the same .. TRASH them .. but my partner wants to give it a try ,
he is a compression addict , he wants to mill them ...
