Driving the car hard or going to track days, did nothing to your motor. The motor ate itself and resulted in two broken pistons, and scoured cylinder walls.

I would be calling a lawyer real soon! Good luck with the rebuild! Maybe you could try those new schrick cams?
Wow thats some insight. I did check the price of those Schrick cams. I decided I was in the wrong business after hearing the price! They cost a shitload. From what I know from some people, Schrick cams are basically stock cams that Schrick reprofiles with higher lift, etc and sells them. Dont know how true it is though.
