Well the extreme G-127 had a miss last week at 6800 rpm, tony pulled it into the middle of the course not to do any damage to the engine..

 

checked it today and a cylinder leak down test reared the culprits ugly head..

 

intake valve cylinder 4 burnt, the valve was not able to dissapate the heat back to the head and this is the end result.. no other damage was done head ok.

 

ordering new ex and intake valves tomorrow and will do a pickup at manley.

 

about a 500.00 bill for new valves.. that could be an RIA 1911..

 

 

could have been alot more $ if you didn't quit

Absolutely! They did a good job by shutting it down and stopped racing. Saved you a ton!

lets hope your luck turns around now.

 

Geez first the one boat getting run over, and now a destroyed valve yikes. Those boys are sure keeping you busy

yikes.

Dbl check that cylinder wall for any scouring from valve pcs, looks maybe little more than burnt.Just saying from past experience.

cylinder wall ok, piston ok... which is good because this motor is odd ball bore size and pistons are custom made.. i do have one piston for each side that is used but good.
