Go down to start the Z…starts right up but after about 5 seconds, it starts making the most god-awful noises ever and then stalls. It kind of sounded like valves hitting pistons. My first thought was teh timing chain may have jumped. Well, NO! That wasn’t the problem at all. It seems as though my motor “swallowed” something… ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/HPIM0796.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/HPIM0796.JPG) And here is the result… ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/HPIM0788.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/HPIM0788.JPG) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/HPIM0789.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/HPIM0789.JPG) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/HPIM0791.JPG](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/HPIM0791.JPG) Motor only ran for maybe 30 seconds total… #4 got it the worst, but #6 had some damage as well. I don’t know…Freiburger would just say “run it”, but I’m really at a loss to even comprehend any of this right now… ---

That sucks, Mike. Is that head cracked on #4? If not, I’d say clean it up & run it for the rest of the summer. What the hell is it & how did it get into 2 cylinders? Tough to tell what it is with such a close up shot. ---

Nope… Took valves out of the head and didn’t see any obvious problems/damage…valve seats looked ok to naked eye… Got a fresh head gasket and put head back on…adjusted valves and did compression test. #8 - 200 #2 - 200 #4 - 120 #6 - 30 Guess not… This is really fucked up… ---

Well, I pulled it out and tore it down… There were pieces of metal in #1 and #7 also. The piston in #6 was crushed on one side so badly that the rings won’t even move. Cylinder #6 has slight damage at the very top of the bore…may need bored out, machine shop will have to determine that. So the damage total is: Both heads Four Pistons Maybe the block It just doesn’t get any better than this!!! ---
