Just had the engine freshened up at a machine shop and at start up this happened. I did get a sponsor out of the deal beside getting a new engine. Look at the pics and see if you can see why it failed.I know there's a lot of great engine builders on this site that will get it right away.

I am surprise they could even turn the motor over by hand after putting the heads on and setting up the valvetrain. Good to hear they stood behind their work and took care of you. 1993 Daytona, 5.50 at 130mph (1/8) 1.19 sixty ft (PG). Link to 572 B1 - Part 1
