so i finally got around to starting the tear-down of the the f20c from my dad’s s2000 that i blew up at the first dunnville trackday. the head is shot, completely, theres no other way to put it…the block has not been completely torndown yet, but from the looks of it metal traveled through piston#4 and entered some of the other cylinders…this means i get to sleeve/bore the block(otherwise its toast as well) im glad i had already bought him a new(used) donor motor, otherwise his car would have been out of commission even longer…and he would not have been happy… …pat, i think that metal-metal contact we heard was my valve bouncing around the cylinder playing asteroids with my combustion chamber/piston=( …but that just means im going to be boring/stroking with sleeves/pistons/rods/a crank and a nice(most likely very expensive) aftermarket head be warned…very graphic pictures follow… (p.s. keep the B.S. to yourself, but feel free to comment on the moon-like craters on the head/piston) (p.s.s. all these pictures were taken in my garage which has no lights so they may be pretty poor quality) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0425.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0425.jpg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0426.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0426.jpg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0427.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0427.jpg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0428.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0428.jpg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0429.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0429.jpg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0430.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0430.jpg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0431.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0431.jpg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0432.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0432.jpg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0434.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0434.jpg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0436.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0436.jpg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0437.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0437.jpg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0438.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0438.jpg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0439.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0439.jpg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0440.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0440.jpg) ![http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0441.jpg](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/viggenman/DSC_0441.jpg) ---

> [@DeusExMachina](#): > > Twice? Did you do it once and think, “Hey, that was a cool noise, I’m going to try that again”? no actually my exact words were," its a honda, whatever doesnt kill it will make it stronger"… then two hours later i did it again and said," pat, if this were your ls1 you’d have pushrods coming out through your hood" and then my car proceeded to turn to that:beer2: it was quite a nice sequence of events… ---
