HAHA to the drama on this thread.
i think you did a good build, seeing as you still have 3 in tact. did you have stock rods? rod bolts? your valvetrain (to me) seems to be doing fine, still got 3 intact. i think your rod/bolt stretched, wow its been a while ..
i just looked back at the pictures, why is there metal in all cylinders? did you race through a bucket of metal shavings or something?
