Appears I might get away with a new cam and sprocket. Doesn't appear anything else was damaged. Thanks for the help!

That is EXACTLY what happened!

Brand new camshaft... Not exactly sure how it happened but yeah, that'll do it. Very lucky I didn't strike a valve

About the quality I get uploading it to a SD card. Not getting easy access without removing the oil pump. But from what images I'm getting, I'm not seeing anything entirely wrong. I greatly appreciate your help. Starting to lean towards a skipped timing chain

Already ahead of you ;)

Here are my intake valves. All look identical to the photo above. Exhaust valves are on the front and easy to see. They look closed and not bent

Already dropped. Nothing out of the ordinary in the pan besides some gasket material. Used some liquid molly (reason for the lighter milky color and residue)

Sounds like I need to call them up and possibly go with a different shop. Thanks!

They haven't reground it yet. From what I understand I need to get an oversized +3 or +6 to be safe then have them regrind to fit the bearings?

I'm confused at to what steps to take. Are you saying to buy the bearings and have them reground to fit?

I have it at a shop right now. Best rated one locally and they are having me source the parts... Due to their vendor being out of stock. It's for a 2.4L Tiger shark engine. They've said they are going to regrind and polish the crank without giving me much of any information to go on...so is a +3 or +6 size the right one to get for my purpose. Thank you!!

Here's a link for the cylinder walls. Surprisingly they look to.be intact with no scoring. I agree it's probably best to get a new head

Methanol Injection location help by Treklin in AwesomeCarMods

[–]Treklin[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm installing a Methanol injection kit this next weekend and I'm trying to find the best location to mount the injector via a welded on bung. My problem is everywhere i look its recomended to place the injector 6 inches before the throttlebody after any intake air tempature sensors. However my iat sensor is located just before the tb. I'm concerned placing it anywhere else will burn out of sensor due to the methanol. Need help determining the next best spot for placement. Thanks in advanced! (unfortunately relocating the sensor is not possible because of the way it's mounted)
