Well I had a,little scare last night. Went for night flight to watch fireworks and all of sudden the engine started shaking and my egt temp difference on my jpi 830 said 700-900. With not much temp coming out of the number 2 cylinder. Well went to go look at it today, pulled the plug and piston top looks like someone was beating it with a hammer. So I threw a valve somehow.

I am going to throw all new cylinders at it and I'm wondering what the general consensus is on chrome vs nickel chrome cylinders? I fly about 50-75 hrs a year if that means anything.

Thanks
