Head Gasket
Everything is pointing towards the head gasket so far..no cylinder wall scuffing, or any top side damage that i can tell

Thanks to my block, my friend got a nice gash on his hand. Does anybody know if these are stock valves? They all have a "B" on the bottom of them? stock or brian crower?

The white/silver rings around your inlet valve cutouts look like detonation damage.
Try to look down between the piston and bore, rock the piston to the side and see if there is a clean white line just above to top ring on the inlet side. If so its detonation.
I built an 2.4 stroker with those same pistons and I came out at 10.7 compression with a standard head gasket.
BTW, the stock exhaust valves have a B on them.

There was a major issue on first tune. The car wouldnt even get up to 5000 rpm..Took injectors out and aluminum shavings came out of the tops of the injectors. Sent them to RC and this is what i got back
