Well I have bad news for the engine. I have intake valves hitting on every one of the pistons. Thankfully however, none of the valves were bent. But on a bright side this means I get to buy new pistons for it! Pistons I actually get to choose the compression ratio on, so I don't have to use a really thin head gasket and run milled heads! They will also have the correct valve reliefs as well, so I will not run into the same problem.
I thought about cutting new bigger valve reliefs in the pistons that I have, but I got to thinking that, that would throw off the balance of the pistons and make it wear faster.
I am stuck however on whether or not I should go ahead and buy new piston rods as well. I think that I might just reuse the ones that I have and save the money for something else.
