pics of the Kaboom (at least thats what the motor sounded like)

Well as some of you have read from a previous post of mine, I blew my motor... It used to be a 383 with stock heads.

Well I started the teardown and was only able to pull 1 of the heads, but I found 3 bent pushrods and a couple of lifters that didnt look so hot, one of my rockers was fubar on the roller tip, and there was metal shavings everywhere (lifter valley, under the valve cover, etc.) Also all of the exhaust valves looked like they had been through a war...

I decided to share the carnage with you guys... Figured someone may want to see these!

Enjoy!

P.S. I will be adding more tomorrow... Should hopefully be able to get the cam and everything else out tomorrow, minus the cranks/rods(whats left) and pistons.
