Do you reckon this is what blew your motor or a result of it blowing?

I thought the point of having plastic/carbon reads over metal ones is that if a bit breaks off then the motor just eats it and spits it out.

Yeah but Hutchy rebuilt it and he knows his stuff.
Anyways my reeds are ok its the block there mounted to that isnt and thats metal it must have done the same to roofers and maybe when he went to run it in, some more of the reed let go and bang.

Roofer, did ya adjust the timing or mixture with the new heads?
Do (did) you have egt gauges?
Please don't read anything 'accusatory' into my questions - I'm just asking cos I'm a nosey bugger and I might learn something.
