    the other possible damage you may have is the piston skirts can get squeezed out of shape from the piston hitting the valves.

    I've had them shear before so now I try to get the cam manufacturer to provide two holes in the cam for two dowel pins. I purchased a box of hardened dowel pins and double pin all my cams in "high performance" applications. Hard part is finding the timing chain gear with two holes.
