273 commando Build

Ok, I’m a bit lost (again lol). That failure looks like detonation. Across from the plug, that’s what it looks like.

Did you post pictures of your plugs? Did you say your compression ratio and cam timing? I apologize if you did.

If you are getting oil in the chambers and you are already on the edge of detonation that will send it right into detonation.
the engine did not have oil in the cyls did not smoke or burn oil . it was a excellent running commando before the gaskets started leaking .
it just did not like the secondaries to be opened ... pedal to the floor ... full power .
