The 205's nackered engine diagnosis!

I dont know if max had removed this head to check the damage or no, so if he has, pointless thread, if not here it is for everyone to see.

Theres valve, piston and piston ring damage on cylinders 1, 2 and 4.
Yet piston 3 was clearly have some combustion issues yet that one seems to be in alright condition.

Picsss:






The damaged valves are "mushroomed" so to speak, they're bent around the edge almost as if they had been pulled into the head hard :/

Dayum! Must have slipped a tooth. But then it ran away at the time to god knows what revs as I was flat out at the redline anyway.
I wander if it's bent any rods?

Bloody strong engine though as it lasted over 2 years running 26+ psi, lasted a cambelt snap, a ruined turbo, 2 dynos, 1 at 170bhp and another 1 year later after a cambelt snap at 190 bhp.

This makes me proud.
So the bent valves, assuming they are the cause of it not starting.

I like the way every piston has the imprint of a tiny scrotum on them.
