Looks it....We were going to bore it .028" over and see if it cleans up, but the bore machine is down right now.

You need to look around some Super Stock engine shops.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

My buddy's car did that last month. Zero passes, just driving thru the pits to warm it up. Snapped off a valve just like that. The block did clean up on .030" over. We still haven't figured out what went wrong.

I had a buddy build a Cleveland ford with ebay valves. One broke the head off idling.
Buy good valves

Past few builds I have always got ferra one piece valves as added insurance. I was told most valves are welded at the neck.

We are not sure, but the upper portion of the valve where the lock holds it on broke off, and let the valve drop in.....This was not my engine or car, it was the back up car that was running 10.45.....

Old valves finally had enough I guess...
