 socalgst, needs a TACO-METER he needs to learn when to shift!!!!!! and to not red-line the hell out off his car.... well long story short he red lined the engine, and floated the valves bent all the exhaust valves. this is the some of the carnage out of Edwin's GST. the head is a lot worse i will take some pictures latter.. the only thing good is the springs and cams... oh and the retainers.. one of the pictures looks like their dancing with each other...
