Re: ??? On piston location
 

lol, a 19 post long thread and basically nothing was said....

I bent all of my valves once, that was a great time. To check them, turn off all the lights and stick a small, bright flashlight into the port. You will see a ring or semi ring of light if they are bent. Another thing you can do is sit the head on its side and pour water into the ports and see if it leaks out the valve.

It would be pretty amazing if the valves weren't bent in that cylinder.

the people demand pics of the broken rod

Re: ??? On piston location
 

Rod is broken, weld the holes on the #3 crank journal and take out the "rocker arms" and HLS's on the #3 valves and let er buck. I mean 6bolt swap, or a 7bolt 2.4 FLW.

I wasn't joking, I was being honest.
If it is a 6 bolt block, try to save the block/crank.
If its a 7 bolt, the price of scrap metal isn't to bad right now...
