Took it apart this morning and figured I'd share another pic. It's pretty cool. Stinks (better words not allowed here) but cool.
That is a one of a kind broken part To bad it happened, have you figure out why the valve broke?
My only guess is valve float, or the valve stem hungup for a milisecond. The valve stem is burnished a bit, but I don't know if that is from after it broke, or, before it broke. There is also a mark in the piston/valve relief that the valve hit, but I don't know if the valve hit the piston before it broke, or if the valve made that mark in the piston after it broke. So at this point it's just a guess with what happened.
