Where's the valve?

427 Fords were notorious for dropping exhaust valves due to the sodium filled stems fracturing.

I never heard of 351c's being particularly susceptible to this but there are now so many aftermarket components going into them durability is becoming a bigger issue than ever.

A failure like this USUALLY takes out the piston, the connecting rod (gets bent) and the cylinder head combustion chamber gets pound on by the valve and destroys it?

The D2AE-CA blocks are thin enough that often the bore cylinder cracks as well.

Nope. This one isn't going to polish out.

Sorry to hear of your troubles.
