Haha, lets hope it wasn't that.
The exhaust side looks fine:
I know the exhaust valve retainer and lock were a lot easier to get off. I don't know how I would know if I had float? I guess given how hard it was to get this lock off the valve maybe that the tale tell sign, i'll have to try to pull the rest of them and see if they are as easy.
Does anyone know what TSP does to the valve seats on PRC heads? Do they replace the stock ones or use their own, or just port whatever you have if it looks good? Does anyone see the seat being an issue here or the porting?
Maybe it initially had a sealing issue at took a year and 15-20k miles to finally burn out?
If I am going to pull the piston, I would rather just get aftermarket ones I guess and if I am going to fix that I might as well fix the heads and they are already milled .030, so I might as well just buy aftermarket ones. And if I am going to do that I might as well do a stroker crank, just seems there is a lot of different info on what you can and can't do or what you could do and you probably shouldn't.
