All because of a $12 spark plug 
Brings back some memories of building this engine when I was in tech school.
Some scoring on my cylinder walls is a bit unsettling. There are areas on cylinder 1 and 4. The majority of damage is in hole 3 where the plug dropped. All areas are .002 or slightly deeper :(
I have a new set of pistons and rings. We will do the same treatment as the m50. Cerakoted block and components. New oil squirters, the works. Crank, rods, and all bearings are in great shape so that is good news.
It will be better than it was. I'm pissed, but it's not the end of this car. The M42 will live on.
Here are a few photos.
