As said EASY fix and by all means replace ALL the valves.

Yep, & replace ALL the intake valves, new springs & double check PV clearance


My guess is, it’s the #1 reason for broken intake valves.


On the plus side........ I’m liking the complete lack of carbon build up in that intake bowl.

Remember some broken pieces could have gone into other cylinders Even on the other side. My son had a 1/4 inch chunk of an Edelbrock intake valve in number three cylinder end up stuck in number 4 or 6 and pinch a ring.

Ok. Give me the good or bad news. The spring looks like new in that it was not moving around same for the keepers and retainer. No metal scuffing at all. I'm thinking the valve gave up. Or # 5 rod bearing went but it still had 60# oil pressure.

Don't know what the top of the piston w/ the broken valve looks like, but I'd be looking very closely at all of the piston tops for any indications of other valves possibly coming into contact, too. scope

It's bashed up and has a hole were the valve stem went thru it. The cylinder wall looks fine. #7 did,but when? Probably after #5 broke.

I have some BBC heads here now that have a few valves showing the same thing.

There’s really only one way to get that shiny ring.

A very intimate relationship resulting in a shiny ring. Then everything crumbles after too much hitting and abuse.

The thing is, the fact that it’s showing contact for the full diameter means the valve is rotating, since nothing would touch all the way around otherwise.

So, the rotation means there is some degree of the stem flexing in different directions as the valve rotates around.
Like bending a coat hanger back and forth......... it can only flex so many times before the material is fatigued and breaks.

In my mind, the question as to why the valve broke has been answered.

Also, the contact is not the result of valvetrain control problems.
That’s not to say there couldn’t be some of that as well, but that won’t result in contact with an intake valve.
When you float an intake valve, even if it’s lagging way behind the cam....... at IVC, the piston is nowhere near TDC.
So, the only way to get the shiny ring on an intake valve is....... inadequate clearance during the IVO period.

It’s not all that uncommon for me to see this condition when I’m reconditioning heads.

Hopefully it’s a quality casting. I sent my leaky W5 head to a guy in Iowa that had brought sprint car heads back from the dead. My head basically crumbled as he tried to weld it.

Indy would be my first call, considering they did lots of cylinder head repair work in the past. Whether the new owners do any of that, you'll only know by asking.

Indy still does repair work and it is second to none. I had a block fixed and if you didn't look real close you could not tell it was ever hurt. They also fixed my B1 heads last year and they look perfect.

We don’t listen to old guys! laugh2 …..all kidding aside it’s a great time we live in when you can actually recommend Indy for something.

What about Brett Miller? He's within reasonable driving distance.
