Up at Cordova for the Nitro Fest and Jet Warz, on my second qualifying run for the 7.50 class on Saturday, the altered lost #4 cylinder. Upon taking the right head off last night, I found a 2.5" x 1.25" piece of the head missing (that would explain no compression). Now, it's a cast iron head, I wonder if it's fixable. It broke in the quench area (the flat section), water jacket is on the other side, so the head was about .25" thick in that area.

I dropped a valve and it tore things up real bad and when he got done you couldn't tell which one it was..
