Appreciate it. =D Ive been looking over the service/shop manual on the assembly of short block and heads. Ill be tearing down the heads to check the valves. It sounds like the valves and pistons are hitting each other. Would it be possible the car is somehow out of timing? I suspect that might be the case since the crank pulley and bolt were fully off with the accessory belt just there.
