Well it turns out it is at least a bent valve.....which i am having a hard time grasping because this was one of the other cylinders, not the one where the rod got messed up
thanks for all the help but after we took the head off we realized that the the engine is toast there are several grooves in the cylinder walls so we are going to move on for now and i will race my buddies car in fallon and work on rebuilding an engine for the mav in the future. Again thanks all
Sorry to hear that. But at least you'll know that you're starting out with a fresh engine next season.
Yeah i just got decide what i want to do with it now....i got the stock 302 still so i could always rebuild that or just put that back in......I also have a 351c but i know that would be too much work to do with cutting and all, so i got to think where i want to go with the car and how much work that i want to put in.
