    Uhhhh, that looks like a grenade job on 'ol number one. The frags eventually make their way out but not without leaving some marks in general. But if she's running good count your blessings and go with it.

    I might be inclined to roll #1 up to TDC and put some vacuum at the plug port to make sure no big frags are left.

    I showed the plug to my son today, he just shook his head and said "I didn't think it would be that bad". He also was wondering what happened to the pieces.
    I had it on TDC and the piston was really wet, I'm hoping the pieces got washed out by themselves.
    This hired man had the head off and took it in to have it milled and put it all back together and it ran OK, funny he didn't replace the plug before he put the bracket back on. Oh, another thing, after he got done the "Check Engine" light comes on after a few miles, I'm thinking it's from a vacuum line that didn't get put on.
