Oh hell..
Well I experienced a catastrophic failure.. I do NOT believe it was linked with the CNG although the CNG may have accelerated the problem.
The timing belt broke on the previous owner, there were valve impacts on cyl #2 and #4. Well cyl #2 and #4 are now broken and cyl #3 has been beat up pretty good.
I have a big expensive pile of parts on the way to reassemble it.

Yikes. What do you figure happened?
It looks like you should get your injectors checked based on that last picture

Those are "SMACK" marks from the piston getting beat up but a piece if it's self Tyler.
Thats a really bad pic but look close, to the right of the chamber from 3 down to about 5 o-clock, that piece is MIA and is the cause of what you are seeing.

A bit hard to be sure, but I see both smack marks and a horrific amount of piston erosion??

What do you think caused the problem? How do you think CNG accelerated the problem? I was all gung-ho to do this on my truck but I'm a bit hesitant now.

It may have been a time bomb anyway when you bought it.
If it was a "patch it up cheap as you can, and i'll sell it quick" kinda thing.
On something like that - any power increase would have accelerated failure. May have even been part of why it was "de-tuned" when you bought it.
Just thinking outloud.
Good wishes on the next round.
Sounds like you need a designated driver to wheel it while you tune it - don't run over top of a school teacher in her Prius out there.
