I just smashed my APR one to bits, only to realise it's chip board wrapped in carbon fibre! Ha what a load of shit.

Is that a ring that's picked up? Hoped it's stayed away from your valves.

So what would cause this then? Piston to wall clearance maybe?

That's shocking! Why would you risk your reputation with a trick like that unless he customer is miles away, you really don't care and already have been paid.
Your luck has got to change soon with that car Glen surely.

If they had put $500 worth of new pistons in they would have pretty much got away with it.Because of this and the fact that if that is the standards that Kings Performance work to then i dont trust anything they do.Hence the reason ive got new parts for every moving component inside the engine,including crank/rods everything.

Fortunatly i bought all the parts before i completly lost interest in the car so Ive just got to pay Gary to build the engine properly.With the built stock head which includes 6.6mm exhaust valve stems i think it wil cost around £10.000 once ive paid Gary.....Not bad when you think i paid $8000 For the engine to start with.
