RE: What do the tops of the pistons look like?
By Tim P. - 02/06/2004 11:10:15 PM; IP 205.188.209.139
Royce The #6 Piston Was Totally Toasted The Exhaust Valve Seperated From Stem I found pieces of piston on the other bank in lifter valley and god only knows where else, so i dont belive that the head gasket had anything to do with it after pulling heads, I do know one thing this machinist is going to do a total rebuild. I most certinly am not going to accept any parts since the motor ingested pieces of metal all thru it, the cam is comp. 260H RV type however he used the existing orginals valve springs Im going to suggest he put beehive type instead and its possible that the crank could have suffered some damage from this also I think the block should be check very closely too. Any other advice you can offer will be taken into account very carefully and appreciated, Thank You in Advance, Tim.
