You did a very thorough job on that engine. Good luck with the new one.

As I'm sure you know, forged will not help a lot if improperly tuned.

Who knows, it just might make it down there under the power of the new motor if everything goes as planned. We will see.

I think you might have a compression problem now. Nice pics though showing what damage was done.

My mower did that this past Summer, shot oil right out of the dipstick onto my shirt. And no, I wasn't using nitrous.

You're lucky the heads weren't hurt! Make sure you clean out the intake manifold really well before you reinstall it. Bob
