Overadvanced the timing on my VW bus parts getter, and if that wasn't bad enough, I put hot running plugs in, and they were the wrong thread size! The plugs were way too long! I wish I had pictures of the detonation, there was literally a hole in the piston! Good thing VW engines were cheap. I felt stupid, having to get parts for the parts getter.
