For sure take it back to the builder. Thats just ... WOW ...

I have no further comments at this time ...

WOW.

 

Pistons in backwards=bad juju. You need to have a valve job done on both heads and replace some valves more than likely. That little accident just cost you at the very least a grand. The piston probably burned up and got lean because of the fuel not doing what it should have been doing. I don't think it was an injector but I could be wrong.

And the car won't run very god on a stock tune and 50 pounders.

 

The question I think everyone forgot to ask was... "how long has the engine been running like that?"

 

And I'm really wondering; Valves hit the pistons, thats a huge thing, you couldn't hear any abnormal sound ???

 

So thats what happens when you install it backwards...

Goodluck on your next rebuild!!!!

OMG thats a long time.

Just curious, did all pistons installed backwards, or just that one? Because if 1 piston is installed backwards, how they couldn't see that!!!

 

Any information from your engine builder?? Is he paying for some of this mishap? Are you positive the injector stopped spraying?
