If the dist was not moved after the cam slipped the ignition timing retarded right with it. If the ignition timing was reset after the cam slipped he could have been putting too much heat in the combustion chamber due to the advanced ignition timing. Also the late intake opening would not allow a complete burn of the A/F mixture at the rpm's he was trying to spin. Too much of that will make carbon deposits in a hurry. Lots of leftover unburned fuel.

If there was THAT much stuff laying in the cylinders the tops of the pistons would look like the surface of the moon. kinda. Heavy sandblasted look anyway.
