The valve that didn't make it!

That'll buff out!

Nice work man....what else is broken inside?

Actually, nothing else...The piston got nicked and the valve seat took a hit pretty good also..So, I am probably goin to pull the motor tomorrow and check the bearings and what not....I was totally shocked that the spark plug made it out alive lol.

was the spring broken or bent or anything? over rev'ed? that is a weird bend, i would have thought it hit the piston enough to punch a hole, not jsut leave a nick.

hopefully that is the extent of it and you will be back on the road quickly.

The spring was and fully intact....somehow it looks like the locks gave just a little and slipped past how I don't know....weird but true....trust me I had a puzzled look on my face after the diagnose lol...
