tore the heads off today. the **** floated around the motor. 3 other pistons are knicked up from the debris from that cylinder

looks like im deff out for the rest of the year. i cant afford to rebuild this motor right now. so hopefully for 08 ill be back together with either more compression and larger cam or lower compression and boost

well i have to say it is well vented now.
looks like you just lost a piston and a head.
could have been way worse then that.

should be an easy fix and your back up and running.

Well, it could have been much worse.

And the culprit is most likely valve float with a combination of not enough piston to valve clearance...or just severe valve float. Or it jumped time which isn't likely but worth checking.

what retainers/locks did you have? Anything else that's bad about the heads, besides the offset rockers? Why do you say that the heads are the "junk" side of the build?
