What the hell? I have never seen that....something like that would pretty much have to be from an over-rev or just a strange failure of the piston. Wierd

 

that seems to be a reoccuring statement with everyone that hears the story.. just my luck.. it was def something in the engine cause theres thread marks and theres no way it could of over reved cause i never touched the gas pedal when i started it.. it was the piston hitting the bolt at idle speeds over and over again that did it

 

damnnn and i though me missing chucks out of my valves was bad

 

yea man it was just a confusing but besides having to spend almost 1200 i guess now im just happy to have my baby back

 

its possible the nut got stuck btwn the valve and the head and stuck the valve open, valve to piston contact.

 

Did you rip it down any further? Take the crank out and see what it looks like. I wonder if the bearing fell apart and gave it a little bit of extra travel to go up or something?

 

no i didnt take it down any further cause i was leaving for a little vaca after i got done and needed the 100 dollar core..
