Money shift damage?


#1

One of my drivers money shifted in turn one at the Chump Daytona race :frowning:

I pulled the head and several rockers are broken and one of the lobes on the cam. I’m sure valves are bent, can’t visually see though. The head is on the way to the “head Shop” in Tidewater.

Question is… 5 of the pistons got “smacked” (see pics), should I be worried?

Thanks for your replies/thoughts!

Pistons are pretty tough. I’d fix the head and drive on.

Busted a cam lobe? Dang.

I have several used-serviceable cams if you want one. Not sure what is a reasonable price, $75 shipped?

Thanks Ranger…

I’ll see what the head shop says. We broke 4 rockers and don’t know how many bent valves.

Is this the “norm” for m20’s when money shifting?

Dress up the tops of the pistons with a die grinder and drive on. Figure on at least 6 exhaust valves and a set of rocker arms.
