sorry to hear that

Bummer man, sorry to hear about your dilemna. Well look at the bright side. You more than likely won't do it again!LOL. You learn something new everyday, as the saying goes. Anyway glad to hear you got moved in your new place okay. Keep us up on the rebuild. And soon I will post pictures of my projects. I am working on restoring the interior in my '82 280zx. That is just for starters. Later WildmaN

I know people shave the head and never hit valves on pistons. My best guess is either the shop shaved the head WAY too much, or you got the timing chain installed wrong.

I'll stop by later this month and we'll get it all worked out.
