Ok  we took the  engine out tonite to  find  that  the  piston on #1 is  no
longer there.The  ticking noise that I heard seems  to be that  #1 rod spun
a bearing allowing it  to tap on the lifter bosses.Breaking the  lifter boss
with the lifter still in it on the  intake for #1.running about 4300 rpm
when this happened melted #1 piston till it exploded so.. case  is  shot
crank is no more the cam has  a  crack in it and  the  heads  are fine.
