I am posting because you guys gotta look closer i guess at bolt on ready heads because although everyone's telling me i am the issue and there are tons of afr and other brands with no issues out there, it can happen is all i am saying, sorry guys pics don't lie, gauges don't lie... I got the one and only set or sets if issues, could have been a bad day for me i don't know but clearly i am saying check heads before bolting on simple as that.... Lesson learned .... The hard way... That's normal for
me.

Learned there was a miscommunication of what actual lifter to bore clearance is acceptable... .0012-.0015 is NOT, especially with 60 degree lake water... Let's just say I was with my machinist today opening up and honing lifter bores, and other engine will be coming out and apart it looks like just to make sure.

Again I am not trying to make trouble for AFR or anyone else just facts, AFR is working with me to resolve the issues at hand and I know they will make it right and I will for sure buy afr again for future engines, my cobra has maxed out heads it needs afr on it lol

That's very true. Had something like this happen with a bad efi tune up killed a piston in one motor and detonated the other motor stuck all the second compression rings. the motors only had about 3Hrs on them.

You should have your machinist check the valve jobs while he's at it.
