i picked up a 69 chevelle with the 119cc's and it had a knock so i pulled it to find the culprit it was piston to valve clearence "every piston" a spun rod bearing and a broken piston skirt not sure if it was the clearence issue that caused all the damage but id thought id let some of you guys know what could poss happen

Did they have the pistons installed backwards? big dome? I and several others are running these heads with ZERO issues

The "culprit" was not the heads it was the dumb a$$ that put the thing together unless something else happened like the timing chain broke,,,,

If some friggin idiot puts an engine together wrong or without checking p/v clearance what the hell does this have to do with the head used
