340 Hydraulic lock inspection update...

If all it did was break off material off the guide I'd fix that in a New York second. There no reason to throw away a head for that.

I'll add when you see something like that break it's usually because you have a valve train issue.

I'd fix that head. And I'd fix the work that DLI because I don't do **** like that.

It sure might same some other work and cost. But the perplexing question (to me) is where/how the water is pouring into the cylinder..... I can't see the material out the side of the guide doing that per se, unless it is cracked up into the water jacket. Or the material fell into the cylinder and jammed between piston and head and 'ker-rack'. Pulling the head will tell a lot more.
