nothing like checking your piston to valve clearances at 9300rpm on spray. :haha ---

That’s a good one right there. Valve stem failure by the looks of it. Had this happen on a 1.8T head just recently, although didn’t bury the valve head into the piston dome like that. > [@4ADAM12](#): > > … no I was running NAWZ but it was when the VTEC kicked in that did it. :lol VEEEETAKKKK Powa! ---

> [@88slowmarro](#): > > bad valve lock… did it when he was sprayin Break is awfully clean to have been impact-induced from the valve dropping due to a bad lock, especially that far up the stem, but stranger things have happened in our wonderful motors :nod Only E-scoping the stem for hydrocarbons/deposits and-or stress riser will prove for a doubt if the stem snapped first. Just had this happen on a new S.Power valve right out of the box, stem snapped in a close proximity to that one upon first fire. Wrecked the slug bad but not as picture perfect as that one above. Still funny as all hell. Put that slug on a shelf for a good convo piece! ---
