Looks like the piston let loose and mashed the spark plug in the #1 cylinder. All of the other plugs are fine and there are no signs of detonation. What do i do next?

if the spark plug is smashed, the piston prolly lost a chunk....

I'm with Magnus on this one, pull the head and see if that is damaged too. Figure the piston had to come up high enough to whack the spark plug so head damage is very likely, plus there is probably metal chunks popping around in there.<a href=\"http://www.fullthrottlev6.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.fullthrottlev6.com</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.chitownracing.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.chitownracing.com</a>Comment

I shattered a piston in my 2.8L ruined the whole motor. I would take it apart or at least do a compression check.Comment
