took motor apart, you were right on. bent push rods and can see where valves were tapping pistons. time to start over wanting a 12 to 1, 383 with a nasty sounding idle.

They are flat top pistons and have valve reliefs on one side and lil half moon in the middle of piston, my buddy called them fly cut maybe hes wrong about this too.


Sorry guy im new to high perf and trying to learn, but everyone around here drives hondas and imports, and everyone else obviously donst know what they are doing
