[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 15611911, member: 11681"] I have seen pistons contact spark plugs in blown motor forensic examinations. However they were typically push rod V8s with old school wedge combustion chambers, not pentroof hemi 4 valve chambers like our cars. On those other types of blown motors, sometimes the rod bolts break and the rod cap lets go and the piston comes all the way up and hits the head. Valves, spark plug and all. Other times I have seen cast pistons shatter from detonation and the piston chunks will fly up and mash the end of the spark plug, as well as bending and breaking valves. Blown up engines are actually very interesting, I always try to determine what the initial failure was, which is not always that easy. [/QUOTE]
