Do you have pics of the other pistons? Are there valve marks on them? This really sounds like a lack of PTV. Valves shouldn't drop on brand new heads. Or, how much did they mill off? What was the CR afterwards? Did you get it retuned for the higher CR?

Well after a few weeks of thinking what I should do I decided to go with a 408 iron block with all forged internals, I put the money down with the shop doing the build and it should be on the road with about 525 RWHP in about 4 weeks... the title of this post is very much so serving its purpose....

Glad to hear that everything worked out. Sucks what happened to the first engine. Once you get a chance you should post up a video of it running, do a walk around, and maybe a few pulls.

I made 504 RWHP and 508 TQ, it is fully forged and 9.5:1 compression, I wanted to keep it lower so I can add boost later if needed. Next time I take her out I will take a few vids
