Ok i post a thread last week of my gsx not starting i was about to do a compresion check and guess what i found out my spark splug is crush so this means also i can see my piston has been dented. So is it crack i havent take off my head but i took off my vale cover i found my rocker arm broken in pieces and went before i took the vale cover off. I try move engine with the wrench on the crank i found it was having resitence move it back half turn it would lock so i know it has bent vales but now is my piston 4 damange being dented from spark plug
 
Yea you did bent them valves buddy.:nono: . But what are you thinking caused this. As far as the piston goes you would have to get a snake came an take a peak in there see what damage is done already. But with bent valves the head is coming off no mater what. So IMO I would start wrenching and see the worst of the good news. If pistons dented heavily I would replace. As you can get another way cheaper an easier of trying to fix chungoed one.
 
I think bad timing maybe the guy time my gsx didt do it right because this would happen would start and die. So im guessing that maybe vibration or something couse the rocker arm to brake in pieces is in piston 4 and spark splug did dent amd it dont look pretty itheir. Maybe is like 3 or 4 mm deep it look deep because i toom off my spark in that cylinder and it was crush i still was able to take it off but i saw there thst big dent and maybe is 3 or 4 mm wide too. So crack piston or no
