As you can see not good. But I was going to rebuild it anyway so no big deal. I just had to buy a new head.

Also I am the guy in the grey shirt with the extremely gay blue pants on. Haha I was borrowing clothes.

Damn that defiantly don't look good. But hell maybe for the best lol, at least u was planing on rebuilding and not a daily driver that would have sucked when the engine craped lol.

edit-don't look like that head gasket has ever been changed

:eek7::eek7::eek7::eek7:HOLY CRAP what happened man?! prolly what my car looks like in there! lol time to rebuild!:nutkick:

Just how exactly did you manage doing that??

I notice you guys were in shorts and t-shirts...I hate you!! jp
That's not al that bad, try jb weld that should take care of everything...

Sh*tl! Looks like there was a valve just siiting on top of the piston. Too lean, timing off? Wtf happened? At least you can put some ARP sutds in now, and some nice head work, oh and some titanium valve springs and retainers, oversized.

Yeah no shit! Bright sunny day, laying the parts on your cement driveway, and doing it in shorts. Bastard ;).

:eek7: That car ran didnt it? I swear that you said it ran fine, but I have no fucking clue how THAT could run. Man, I still am chuckling about it. Pistons all dinged up and one with a big ass hole, the valves dont even seat, and those spark plugs look like they went through hell and a half. Shit man, I dont even have enough imagination to figure out what could have went wrong. Skipped timing? Maybe broken timing belt and they just neglected to go inside and see whats up? Maybe someone just took the head off and beat the fuck out of it for fun. Yeah, thats what I bet happened. ;)

I have those same jackstands. ;)

anybody else notice that the broken off valve is in a end cylinder but the missing one from the head is in the center? :screwy:

=O that is nuts!!! screw you and your fancy pants shorts

I see two valves missing. In #1 and #2 cylinder both of them exhaust valves.

...wow is the only thing that comes to mind

A sad sight to see on a DSM :crying:

mmmm looks like fun to meeeeeee.

Looks like your timing belt broke or jumped really bad

i think it was a little more than just jumped timing...like maybe some SERIOUS knock. it looks like you "blew" a hole in that piston from explosion and not just punched a hole in it with the valve. the piston looks melted on the top.

hey now. I didn't do that. I bought the car like that. The guy said it had a bent valve. And since the car was in such great condition, and being the fact that I was going to rebuild it and bore it .20 over anyway I didn't really care. I just discovered this when I pulled the head off. We were going to pull the block today but the k-members gave us a fucking hard time and we only got one off. They are rusted to hell too, so I need to replace those.

Overall I am not displeased at all with my purchase. I found a new head for it since that one is fucked. And it's going good.

i know i wasn't blaming it on you, i was just stating that i think it was a little bit more than just jumped timing. i'd check every damn clearance/spec possible on that thing when re-building it.

Be sure to keep the old head for parts! :loser: Just playin man...
