thanks for your condolences fellas, made me shed a tear ;)

interesting yours benny, my piston i think will look similar. It has scored the bore up towards the firewall end, bottom end is still together been flat out this weekend. here are some pics. i'm going to get the injectors flowed and tested but i suspect it was a bit too much timing for the old girl.

interested to know if anyone can read anything out of the colour of the valves. There is a big carbon buildup on the pistons which can't have helped and heaps of carbon on the back of the valves.










pic of the manifolds installed, no relevance to buggered engine, just looks cool :)
