[Turbo Zetec 'tour]

even with the OEM gaskets the pistons never hit the head till this last run. i still think either the bearings failed which allowed enough play for the pistons to hit the head or the piston broke which then allowed enough movement for it to hit the head. since all of the pistons have cracks in the same spots im leaning toward the second one. I do know that even with a crushed OEM head gasket the pistons were no where close to coming above the gasket.

also, the pistons were perfect not a week before this happend when i put the head back on and i had OEM head gaskets both times before that.

right now im leaning towards parting it out, unless someone wants to buy the whole car for a little less than what i feel i can get from the parts, and then saving for a bit and start building a Locost 7 (Lotus 7 replica/kit car).
