So my last pass I run an 11.0 and the car does not feel normal, It felt like a plug or plug wire. Get the car home pull the plugs and wires and I see the #6 is all jacked up pull the head and I find this.






The pistons are hitting the head and #4 is cracked on the top also.

motor will be torn down tomorrow and hopefully be ordering new pistons before the weekend. Then it will be back to the track to try and run some better times.
