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 :-(

That looks depressingly familiar.
Could be caused by heat as well. If so, the other intake seats are likely getting ready to do the same thing. (Don't ask how I know that.) --DD |
