Default Tore my 355 sbc apart

Last race I had so much blow by oil was blowing out and caught on fire. Got it tore apart and had grooves in the cylinders from the narrow skirt of the piston. Pistons are 7-8 years old, theyve seen some laps. The skirts are worn pretty good and have quite a bit of slop when put in the cylinder, Im guessing thats what let to my problem. Any how I took alot of pics, too many to post on here so heres a link to the pics. Also did some carburetor/ thottle plate swapping lol. also compared my l92 valve to my 2.02s. Theres 2 pages of pictures. http://s24.photobucket.com/albums/c3...81/RACE%20CAR/
