Unhappy The Heads Are Off!

Well after a full day I got them off. Sal was right. I burned a valve alright. And the reason the helicoil came out is cause it was burned also. I have two helicoils that got burned in that little run. Its sad cause I have about 2000 miles on these ported and polished heads. Anyway Skankdog took some pics and he will post them for me.

Think you may want to re-consider your tune/driveing style... It's a trick to that kind of damage in such a short period of time.
