Absolutly 100% true, glen told me to check the head clearence and I dint.
But.........
The contact was caused from the new squish being machined about 3mm off center, when you put a head gasket up to the head you can see the overlap.
The pic was taken after the original piston from 100hp was found to be cracked and after I had sent the top end to glen to be checked out (new piston installed) that pic was taken after roughly 20gal of C12, 3 blown headgaskets and 20lb of nitrous through it.
I fixed the squish issue myself. I also ended up spending 4 hrs with a piece of glass and sandpaper cleaning up the machine marks on the head/cyl and now have zero headgasket issues (40lb of juice and numers overheats later)
I told Brit at the time he first showed that picture.That if he thought I did something wrong to contact me .I have more money ,more equip,more parts,And anything to make him happy,I offered at no charge to him even tho it was a second hand deal,At no charge to him and I still offer him the same gesture.
Glen I contacted you about the headgasket issue multiple times and thats was when I decided to sent the motor to you to have the head drilled for the 10mm studs and a fresh piston/rings. I dint notice the piston-head contact untill it blew yet another headgasket.
Not once did you offer to fix the issue
no charge thats the reason im still running that dented piston, Ive been broke as a joke this past year due to the shitty econamy and am making roughly 25% of what I used to, im also a completly cheap fuk, do you really think I wouln't take you up on a gratis fix?????????
Please don't make stuff up as theres nothing I hate more than lies.
Personally I think the main reason this motor never performed as it should is the location of the exhaust side cooling holes, they are visible through the exhaust port, in my uneducated mind I think its blowing fuel-air and power out the exhaust. But those holes have also stopped me from melting shit multiple times.
I really dint want this to come up as I really like you, your a cool old wrench in my mind and there aint many hi test guys like you around anymore.
And bob I jet my shit once, I run the main up untill it blubbers then back it off 5 sizes. It aint failed me yet.
