Out of curiosity were these stock or aftermarket gaskets?
Looks like something made it into the combustion chamber. Check the top of the pistons.

Doesn't look like pitting. More like foreign object. Hope your cylinder wall and piston weren't damaged. Would volunteer to drive down and help but I got jury doody. Good luck. Rand

I dought it (MHO) looks like something fell into one of the carbs. you mite want to do an inspection on the carbs see if anything obvious came loose and fell in. i think you just got lucky the object didn't get cought between the piston and cylinder wall.
Looks like someone went at the heads with a screwdriver and a hammer.
It really looks like something was bouncing around inside the cylinder just beating the crap out of the heads.

Well this is just a testament to how well Sean builds engines then because the bike was running fine, plenty of power, good compression.
Despite my best efforts to destroy it.
I am going to smooth out the best I can the gouges on the heads, do minor surgery to the piston, slap it together and see what happens.
Well dont have any idea what would have made it in there but something did.
Not sure how I got away with this but the cylinders walls have absolutely no marks other than normal wear.
Here is a pic
Could it be pre-ignition or knocking since the cylinder walls were left untouched???
I wouldn't rule out the head came from a blown V-max engine?
Hijacking!
Fargo, any work/play with Birdo's bike?
