Piston Damage
Hey guys I went to the track about a month ago and though I popped a head gasket due to the car backfiring constantly and haven't had much time to tear the car apart until now. I lifted the driver side head to discover this.
Any ideas what cause this!? My best guess is that I spun a shitty '98 rod and it took off from there but what do you guys think?

whatever happened it looks like detonation immediatly happened after. The valve looks really black. That sucks man : (. It's a good excuse to forge your stuff though. I wonder what made all the scraping stuff on the metal???

nope, just pulled it from the bottom and cleaned up for the day, sometime this week I'll remove the trans and accessories and then slap in on the stand and rip it open to observe the damage, I'm hoping to reuse the block and crank. The cylinder wall seems to be fine aside from a very small groove where the chunk probably dug in just a tad.
