I just want to after back to back National event runner ups and a semi final didn't need this. Sitting 3rd in div points with another ProAm in April. Not sure I can get this done. Not looking good for Rockingham either 5807958-dscn2669.JPG (315 downloads)

The broken valves give some backing to the "broke" cause rather than the "burned up" nitrous failure. But it can be tough to figure out what came first, the chicken or the egg. Heat failure or valve train failure could be related. I really have no idea on this one.

Id look at the other cylinders and valves and see what you can find... Your a smart dude, you will find the problem, and have it up and running in now time... sorry about your luck..
