it was not carpenters fault my friend had ask me about the manual timing adjuster and before i could get back to him he said that he was hearing a noise and had set it one and one half turns in. i have not pulled the front so i assume that it broke one or both of the guides. so all i know is all of the exhaust valves hit the pistons and are bent and stuck down about 1/4 inch
