I think the guide came apart after the valve hit the piston.
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!

Thank you for being a part of our community!
Yeah it's manual. T5 swapped. Why you ask?
If I had to guess the guide (seems in three parts like an expanding brick wall anchor lag) let the valve drop and it hit the piston just right (knock noise) and nail gunned it into the head. This caused my compression to go away and the car stopped.
Never seen presumably well serviced working 240 engine drinking a Kool Aid especially in pics. Thanks!
Imperceptible loss of compression. Smooth the edges with Emory cloth and run it.
Overrevving a high lift cam on factory springs is one sure fire way. BTDT.
That's normal. My blocks have looked the same.I snapped a bad pic of the aforementioned missing chunk on the block where the head bolt would go. If you look, you'll notice a missing chunk just above the purolator oil filter in the pic.
I'm not sure what that hole/channel is for... presumaby the water jacket? But I'm also not sure anything is "missing" or if it's a casting issue or... well I'm just not sure, but I also don't see what potential harm exists?
So you?re telling me i shouldn?t bang limiter burnouts with my +t iPd turbo cam..???
Also, was this what we call 'dropping a valve'?
