what was your compression ratio again? damn that sucks.. You got to drive it for one week? damn....
That picture of the plug doesn't look like anything "hit" the plug, looks burnt. plus the 2618 pistons "shouldn't" just break in pieces like the stockers, they "should" deform.... Seams odd...

Was it just a miss sound...or an actual mechanical failure?

I'm betting this won't be the normal broken ring land you see on the stockers. I don't like the look of the #7 plug. All the others look okay. Wondering if you didn't seize/break a ring.
