i have the pistons out the block
looking at them carefully within the valve cut outs it is quite clean as is some of the edges on some of the inlet valves
so yes valves have touched pistons slightly
as welshpug says i need to get the valves out and checked
im sure the head casting is good pistons good and bottom end looks good
i have a good head on another engine with a dead bottom end but idealy id like to build this one back up
i need to get the block bore measured to see if i can get away with hone and rings or if it needs a bore
