Default be aware

be aware of cheap products like crower dual valve springs. this is what happens when you don't listen to your boys. i should of replaced them when it happen the first time but i thought it was just maybe a bad batch of inner spring that i got. than i heard a few more guys that it's happend too. and again i thought it couldn't happen to me twice, but it did.
and yes it's my own fault, i only have my self to blame for this. so no need for the bashing.

they may make other good products but i know i will never use them for anything ever again. just be aware to those that are running them. this could happen to you. the pic of the piston is from lsvtec that it happen too.

Ouch , for sure ,, damn man

Ive been there a few times , that sucks but like you said , it was your own ignorance,
it happens , who wants to pull apart a head when nothing is wrong , i hear that .
Was there ever a defect with them from the company? as in they know this happens and released a statement saying " if you have these . swap em out ? "??

i haven't heard of them saying that they had a bad batch.
i don't know about the block yet. i checked the dip stick and looks cool you know not milky looking so the block is cool just might have sleeve it and do 84-85m pistons.

it is my own fault just want others to know what could happen if they continue to use those. it just sucks for me i had just got the car running cherries.
