Well guys, I tore the engine out of the car today and got the head pulled. Worst case scenario came true and then some. All 3 pistons melted down and I'm pretty sure did enough damage to the cylinder wall that it's unrepairable. Time for a new block I am guessing.

The pictures above are a result of catastrophic detonation in the engine due to no timing retard becuase of the retard operating the car (me).

****ing junk hyperpathetic pistons! A pity those blocks can't be resleeved... Regardless of the outcome, I give you *mad props* for simply having the balls to undertake a project of this magnitude. I wish you the best of luck with the rebuild, I hope to see some dyno charts of the new motor soon smile

I'm up for the fund, too. She sounded pretty good while she lasted Rick. Those pics are a hell of alot worse than I expected though.
Also, as the topic says tears have been brought. frown
