Dear Tony,


          I do believe that you're onto the cause.  We shall see.


                    Just my opinion,  Chuck Engles

I've munched a few Clevelands over the years.
I killed one with detonation.  I don’t think I see the same "sand blast"
appearance on the pistons.
I had an exhaust seat come apart once, luckily just upon start-up, so
minimal damage.  This looks allot like that.  I may be mistaken, but I think
I see pieces similar to valve seat stuck in the top of that piston.  Put a
magnet to it...

If the heads have hardened valve seats, did the exhaust valve seat on #8
come apart?

Gang,
Some of you may have heard that my engine met its end at the Fun Rally this
year.  We pulled the engine and did a post mortem on it this weekend.  Did
anybody lose any debris?  Because I think my engine may have found it!  Here
are some pictures of the gory details:
