I guess anything is possible. I do have like the highest mileage lsj in my area I'm pretty sure. 113,xxx. And then again, there's only a handful around. Huntington, WV is more of the mustang scene.

How did I not see this?
Well this definitely puts to rest my reading that the 2.0 is a non interference engine (read it somewhere during my engine build research). Definitely some interference here when out of timing, LOL. Especially if there was enough force to break the lash adjuster from the piston hitting the valve.
I have redone my timing due to a broken LSJ tensioner (replaced with the revised AC delco tensioner) and then a broken bolt. Both times I took my time and didn't rush. I also knew what I was doing before I started the car...

It grinders down and broke off into the head and some how melted? I have no clue. The machine shop was clueless also. Hopefully this head I just bought checks out.
