If you just want the valves then I have a box of hte ones I took out of my project engine that are yours for free plus shipping. I can look for the best ones but they will deffinately need to be cleaned up, that said they are likely no worse then the ones in there now.

Hydro-locking an engine resulting in a bent valve? New one to me. Generally any clicking (clanking) is the BENT ROD hitting the lower edges of the cylinder wall.

When you get the rig back on DRY, stable manageable ground....fire it up and pull the plug wire off the bad cylinder. My $$ would be on lower end though...just the nature of the beast.

Take some pics of the 30K lb winch operation though!

My lesson learned is never listen to "younger" girls about trail condition. Saddly i have nothing to blam this on other then my stupid second brain. No this incedent was drug n alcohal free. Ill take some pics. I hope to hell he can pull me out.

Yeah, I've been bitten by that same feeling around women before, ya get a little careless. :P
Sorry to see your rig in such a state, truly sorry. Hope it turns out as well as possible.

By the utility pole in the pictures, I would assume that there is one near the front of your truck. I would hook a 1 ton+ come along to that pole and run some cradled (doubled)straps to the front of the truck. All you need is a steady, constant pull to break the suction and gain movement. Once you have movement again your buddies can pull you out easier. They might even be able to use the utility pole behind your truck as an anchor. Tell all your buddies that there is a beer and pizza party at your place when the truck is out for anyone who brings a recovery strap or chain. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Works for me. Good luck brother! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
