It has been safety set on his limmiter and already has greddy rocker arms on. So the possibility is not likely cause i limited the car to much. The car has been running 4 years with this setup with no probkem

Well, I'm going to say it - if you want to drive it to the limiter all the time, it's bound to go bang. Drive it with mechanical sympathy and it will last. A rev limiter is not a target, it's a safeguard, stay away from it.

I ran low boost so the water meth only came on at high boost. Yes she made almoust 240kw at 1.1 bar. Just trying to sort her out now. The head is coming of tonight to see whats going on. The strange thing is after the whole insident when i struggled home and you let of gas their was no engine noise or any abnomal sounding thing and it sounded as if she ran on all 4 but once your on the gas you can hear that their is 1 cylinder is missing. No smoke nothing exept the visial damages on the spark plug and no compression.

Tell me do you have to take off the bottom end part to take off the chain or can you avoid that by just opening up the tappet cover and releasing the chain from the top to remove the head?
