I had a similar problem years ago with the valve guides being to tight on one cylinder. It ended up with both valves seized in the open position, wiping out the cam, both lifters, both push rods, the piston, con rod, crank, pretty much went from the burn out box to the tree and locked up. Anyway, the machine shop bought everything but the block. Dart makes a killer block. Make sure you research your local machine shop before you give them all those expensive parts.
