LOL yeah I was pretty surprised that it was my intake valve that broke off. I also bent the connecting rod lol but that's all that's left is the connecting rod and the wrist pin . Oh well thankfully i have a new used engine to throw in it and then I get it detailed then I sell it .

What kind of RPM were you spinning when it happened? Do not lie either! It looks as though you had the intake valve open and the pison kissed it a few times and then it finally broke off and bent the push rod while it was kissing it.

Looks like the kissing quickly escalated to bondage/S&M type situation.

wow that sucks, but as they say it takes a real man to destroy an engine that much.

I know how you feel. I broke a valve spring at 6000+ rpms and the valve floated and hit a piston and bad things happend...very similar to yours. However, my connecting rod ended up in my oil pan and on the expressway (most of the rod went thru the side of the block). If I can find some pics from when it happend i'll post em up my combustion chamber looked very much like yours. Sorry to see it happen to someone else....what kinda heads were those?

ah...didn't bother to look, never actually seen a stock cylinder head before..

See of the block is salvageable and build a stroker in your spare time.
