I was expetiong to find ahole in piston,  whitch wouold have been an easy fix.  what i've found, is less convinet,    it's carnage fixable but carnage.    valve spring, spring retainer or lifter fail   

can't complain tho engine was expected to go bang at some point tbh as it was built to evaluate new parts, and some from supplyers we've not used before.

stage 1 testing complete - they have been found lacking.
stage 2 testing begins - the warranty

no more power for this one.  it'll be back with less  :sad:  as it'll have a standard head put back on it to get it running again.   the challenge i've been issued is to get the same power but with less fuel,  i suspect it'll involve fewer valves
