Six years it lasted. Then, dropped a valve. The carnage was magnificent. The end?

bigger better faster stronger....

Who needs overhead cam when you can install the valves directly in the piston!

Keen to see the new cross flow piston.

Hey, I had to uncheck the Hide Photo from Mista Bone option...

My flickr account is full so this will have to do for now.

And people say cold fusion is always 50 years away...

Those valve faces cold fused to that piston pretty efficiently...

That's cooked!

The supercharger doesn't look much better.

Cheer up, I'll rebuild this. Operation phoenix in progress.

I feel like I've been here before.

I'm not messing around with the rotor pack this time - Not changing bearings, not messing with the seals, not having to retime the rotors, I'm just flipping it around.

Fantastic! Man, that piston looks like death. I'm sure it made one heck of a sound while it ate itself. Glad to see you're going back with it. Think a retainer/keeper failed or just the valve broke?

It's dropped before, only minor damage. I think the valve repair wasn't done well. It was cut too deep into the seat and maybe the guide wasn't right. The keeper was still on. The valve broke off at the stem. There was surprising little noise or clatter.
