yea considering the year of the car (02) and the miles, 100k, yo uprobably had a retainer fail at high revs. Between the piston going at 5-8k rpms and the valve in there with little space to move around in. That cylinder is destroyed. Hopefully not to the extent that it can't be honed out and sleeved.
