Could have dropped a valve or broke a valve and have all that happen too.

thats good to know. Im not sure if they were put in last fall or this spring but I know he got them from someone on here brand new unopened in the box.

That would make sense too. I guess I was leaning towards the injectors cause after it came off the dyno it was never beat on and I was just cruising when it happened. Im also leaning towards the injectors cause if you look at the picture of them you can see that 3 are starting to get dirty from the E85 and one still looks brand new. The one that still looks new was the one in the cylinder thats messed up and since its still so clean (I could be wrong) I would assume it wasn't flowing enough fuel. Im going to get them bench tested asap so I know whether or not the injectors are good

Here's a little update of where things are sitting right now. I finally was able to get the injectors bench tested and they tested good. The flow and pattern are basically identical on all of them. So it's looking like its just a broken valve that's the culprit.

The shortblock is up at MAP right now being built. Had to get a new block, front cover, then we're putting different pistons in it (wiseco hd's), we're reusing my crank and rods, and putting a main girdle in it too.

It will still probably be a few weeks until I get it back then the head will be going to the head shop.
