Intake seat let go. Ended up resting at angle to valve (odd location, usually they sit flat if loose?) which ended up taking a chunk from top of piston and scuffing cam lobe from pressure created. Much work ahead of us this weekend :-(

Thank you for the eye. Great questions. I’ll grab and post more photos this week.
Top of piston - this is untouched, as it was when opened up. Ancient Heads - LN Eng would be nice. Not much out there for options that don’t break bank. |
