Default Good & Bad New's!!
I dropped the head's off today and upon further inspection.The bad new's is we noticed that I melted the tip off of one spark plug and it started to melt the aluminum around it. No biggy it is fixable,but damn! The good new's is the piston still look's new. As soon as I get it back together,it is getting retuned!
A little longer in the gas and I would probably be pulling the whole engine out.

Yeah, it was to lean and it was detonation and probably to much timing, I believe?Going to add a methanol kit to it, just for some reasuurance.
