Reply to "Dropped a valve..."

My guess right now is that the rocker broke. And what do I base that on? The way the metal hitting metal sound behaved when I became aware of something was wrong. It was on and of. If the valve head broke off, it would be constant? And if the locks didn't work I think it would be constant. But if the rocker broke first, it would still lower the valve somewhat (see first picture), and as the locks wore down the groove on the valve stem the valve could go further and further down.

Well maybe.

Another interesting thing that leads me to this theory is that the the rocker while looking similar and having the same pat nr on it, it doesn't have comp cams stamped on it. Chinese crap? Or at least diffent batch?

Of course the problem whatever it was was multiplied by a highlift cam and 1.73 rockers.
