Have been away since the prang ..but got out to the Plane again today ... Pulled the S/plugs ..and found #2 s/plug end smashed ..and also the Piston top has puncture holes rite through .. all other s/plugs look ok ...but a couple of other piston tops have 'pitting' ... Have talked to the Engine builder ( specializes in Performance and Race engine builds ) and he will pull the engine as soon as i get it to him ... Looks like the Valve timing got out of sync with the pistons ... Timing belt and all pulleys all look fine though ....and don't know how that ties in with the Oil issues .... Anyway the engine tear-down will tell the story though .. Thx again ..for now ..
