    Ouch, that is a bent one. Is the piston and barrel ok? Lucky it didn't completly fall off! What squish do you run?

    This motor was actually running relatively low compression, though still higher than stock (due to big bore kit). Valve to piston clearance is what you need to get right otherwise as F5Dave says, the valves become your squish

    This one actually let go at the retaining collet groove, which is lucky because we all know what happens when the other end comes apart. The piston is marked but looks okay on first inspection and the bore is unmarked, phew! I have another cylinder head to assemble but will be checking all the valves out first.

    Yes, the sled will be operational for the next round at the Slipway, otherwise Number One will keeeelllll me till I'm dead!
