nevermind you are right. they are pieces of springs. F'N COMP SPRINGS!!! I had JUST ordered a new cam and springs from FMS too

after the engine was pulled and closer inspection there was a knick in a cylinder wall also.

she's at the machine shop right now getting rebuilt can't decide on a 408 or stay 383....

heads are going back to the porter to check out, get patriot gold springs and set up for a much bigger cam
