so Jess remember when that cylinder wasnt firing? the valve was bent some how and there was no compression in the cylinder. the head of the valve snapped off and killed the head a piston

BKR6E plugs?? Those are some hot plugs. Why not go iridium and a step colder? BKR7EIX to be exact.
I predict a hole in your piston, probably a cracked top ring land and scuffed cylinder wall. So sorry to hear Dave.

nah the 6 heat range is fine for a vf39, it wasnt from knock or det. after we did the swap for some reason that cylinder wasnt firing and before we could do a leak down this happened. my guess was the valve was bent from the crash the car was in before and the head broke off from that.
