Yup! Number 2 (second from rear of car) is the culprit. Notice also that the marks that show front/back of pistons are in line on 3 of 'em, and about 120 degrees off on that one. I fear for the bore. > What is the firing order of this engine and what shape is the crank? The crank is supposed to have 1&4 up, 2&3 down, then the other way. So the firing order then is probably 1342 I think? More pictures tomorrow afternoon, but I don't think it's gonna be pretty. Dave
