Had a little accident last night. I am not sure if it was from just pushing the thing too hard or if it was from a rev limiter "goof" I made earlier in the day (screwed up with HPT) where I missed third prety bad and the motor saw 8300 RPMs a few times. The intake pushrod was bent on that cylinder which leads me to think the valve kissed the piston and fractured it during my little mishap and it came apart later on in the evening when I was beating the snot out of it.
Good new is the car did 648 to the wheels with 7 cylinders :gears: , just my torque was awful since it was misfiring down low. And before anyone asks- no, I did not intentionally dyno it knowing there was a problem, I made my pull and it was breaking up when I first hit it, I assumed my alky was coming on too soon and making it break up a bit since it seemed to clear up with RPM- that wasn't the case, apparently. The plug gap was hammered from the piston chunk. Not bad though, didn't take long at all to get apart- I like working on new cars- they're nice and clean lol..
