Ok, so we the help of some friends we figured out wtf happened to this Picco motor.

I'm a noob so GO EASY on me

Upon replacing my connecting rod I had mis-placed the shims. Causing the motors compression to rise to only God knows what level.

I had only put 1 shim back in

It was my fault why the motor took a dump. As far as all the grease and what not around the motor when it blew I the gasket for the header had ripped about 9-10 tanks prior and I just never replaced it

I'm stocked on motors for now but I'm switching up to either Novi or Max motors.
