I feel your pain having recently had something similar happen- what an absolute bastard! I saw you heading off towards Ruapuna this morning.
Time and money.....

No the spring rate had to be so high because the ramp on the cam is so harsh.So looks like I am going to have to make a chromoly cam?

No when I look down the plug hole I can see the rod I think there is meant to be a piston in there. I will take the head off at the track and take more pics
