here are a few pics from the engine i pulled the other day.
heres what the pick up had in it


here is what caused it


but on a good note i got a great deal on some new spark plugs,

when i pulled the plugs not a single one of them was tight, if you look close you can see where the burn marks are on the porcelain.

Dude that really sucks. Man I hope you take that guy to the Cleaners.

I am guessing that is why the Valves touched the Pistons....

yeah, that maybe the reason why the pistons were hitting the valves on those two cylinders but it doesnt explain why the others were hitting. the rest of the bearings looked really good. but it just gives me a reason to go better, was going to go bigger but had a few change in plans :frown:
