lol <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />The valve slpit the piston right down the middle if you can see in the picture, scored up the block too much. as far as what happened i dont know. #1 it wasnt the valve keepers or spings. didnt know it was that bad before pullin the head untill i tried takin out the spark plug and half was gone and i could see the valve in the hole. took off the valve cover and all looked normal, valve shaft, and spings still in the right place.
how it looks. competely normal so it wasn't spings/keepers they're still in the right spot
#2 timing chain looks good, although i havent tore it down to see the crank gear yet. who knows i'm gunna take apart the block to see the rods and crank gear, maybe that will be the clue
