71 Dart 410 stroker ..

got the motor and trans out....heads are off.....looks like something fell into cylinder no.2 ....see marks on head and piston....the other chamber is the one that was repaired....
i did not see anything jump out at me on the head gaskets...i will wipe them off and take another look on Wednesday....

These heads are not going back on that short block...they dont like each other...lol
All the cylinders looked good....

I got two sets of heads that i will pick up tomorrow in Indio...one set of ported eddy and one set of SM...one of those sets will go on this short block....
need to get the pan off and get things cleaned up and get another set of those expensive head gaskets.....lol....

Does that look like a hardend valve lock got inside? Maybe lost one in a port , never find it ...and just get another assuming it went under the bench.... Do you even use a wing nut on the carb..?
That is really odd and the shape of the impressions is unique to only a couple things i can imagine.
