    WOW!!! Thanks for sharing. What did the combustion chamber and spark plug look like? Any signs of detonation?

    Eric - LOL! Where is your [photo] trophy?!

    Jeff - My pleasure! I tried to snap some meaningful pictures to document and answer those questions:


    Cylinders six, four, and two per request. That NGK copper-8 is truly "non-projected" now lol. You can also see one compression ring caught in the intake valve.


    Cylinder #6's combustion chamber. The other five pistons and chambers are normal.


    Piston #6 aka my new coaster - HAH!


    I needed to toss in a "nice" picture among the numerous bad ones.

    Even though engine carnage's like this are always sad I must say the autopsies are really interesting. Thanks for posting the photos.

    What were you revving to?

    You seem to have a bunch of trophy pieces. Any ideas how both the top and bottom of the piston got beat up so badly?
