thanks,

Well, my Luck ran out. I pulled the valve cover to find that 2 intake valves were stuck in the down possition. I tried to tap them up to see if they would "pop" back up, but I think they already got bent with the piston. So off comes the head and back to the head shop for repair. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

Does anyone know why the valve would just stick? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> The only thing I can think of is that there was NO oil for it to run with. So when it ran for the 30 or so seconds there was no lube and they overheated and seased, then got smacked by the piston. other than that I have no Idea <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> Does this happen more often than not or did I do something wrong or do I really have bad luck? after I pulled the cover, there was oil on everything on the head, cam, rockers, valves. But that isn't to say it got up there after the damage already happened.
