After the ottawa event, the engine was severely weakened by severe detonation in the number 2 cylinder. The engine finally deteriorated until noticeable loses in power were noted. Below is a picture of the resultant cylinder after the detonation.
The spark plug on the left is the #2 cylinder plug which was the damaged cylinder. The center is the #1 cylinder which was on its way out. And the spark plug on the right is simply for comparison purposes.
This was the exhaust side valve of the #2 cylinder which had mashed bits of aluminum when it was first removed. If you look closely in the picture, severe pitting is visible from these bits of aluminum.
The following pics show the heads during their dissasembly process.
