    Hard to say without looking at it but it sounds like it might have dropped a valve and then it put a hole in the piston :(

    punched hole in piston most likely. been there, done that. Sure sounds like it's time for a new motor to me too.:( But look on the bright side, once you have your new motor in you will be a much happier:rolleyes: maverick owner.
