No, it's not burnt at all, the cup just broke. Iäm starting to believe after having tremendous problems with the T&D's and every now and then some problems with the ersons too, we should try bigger seat pressures better contorolling the valvetrain. We measured the springs with good equipment when putting the heads together and had 275 lbs of seat pressure, but now with the moroso tester it was only around 180-200 The cam card wants 280. Last time we "calibrated2 the moroso tool it showed some 40 lbs less than real, but we now have different rockers and that may change the readings somewhat? Anyway, the pressures were all pretty even, so I thought it was ok.
