Holy crap. Did you drop a valve or four? I've heard of these motors dropping valves before. I hate to think it could happen to me, especially since my 12,000 mile engine has started sounding different in the top end lately. And I'm not exactly revving the crap out of this thing. How many miles are on your engine?

This one went off at 28,732! Not bad, I have heard of valves dropping at half the mileage I have. Its almost impossible to time it so that you can replace the valves before they go. Its all about how you drive, weather, etc...

This was the damage of one valve! Imagine what 4 would have looked like!!!
:shock:

That is insane...

I'm amazed the other valves were not bent or damaged when that one let go. Gotta be a real strong piston not to have had the top shattered and/or even the rod bent.

You need to remove whatever loose filings are on there and save that thing as a paper weight

The other valves did get hit but not as bad as the piston. As far as the rod goes I just got lucky, it could have definitely been worse!
