Hmm WTF, numbers 3,4?????

If you look closely you can see the rod bearing shavings in the pan.

Damn man that sucks! Looks like that other motor I got, although you caught it before the bearings got completely destroyed.

Also looks like you were hitting the valves, I would take a look at the valves and check for damage as well.

Sorry to see that dude. How did that happen?

head looks good, I imagine my motor will look similar though. I hope I don't need a new friggin crank, or custom bearings after having the crank journals fixed.

I was real suprise not to see any ring land problems. The pistons look fine other then the valves hitting them. I didn`t take the crank out yet. I am going to let the machine shop to that.

You beat me to buying Fiz`s pistons and rods. I probably end up getting the same thing.

Where's the other 4 pistons??

I'm really shocked it wasn't a spun bearing. Who would have thought the timing chain would jump instead.
