lol dude...

tight valves.. lifting too much... yet somehow coming in contact with the pistons??

the valve springs lift the valves, the cams push them down..

blazinblue did your tech check the crankshaft pulley yet?

Literally you are right but technically valve "lift" is the distance the valve moves from full close to full open. So how far the cam pushes the valve "down" is valve "lift".

Mis-shift would also be another possibility but he never mentioned if it was auto or manual.
