valves

Have the valve heads snapped off? or over revved engine.
I've heard of airhead valve heads snapping off. but not oilheads.
 
Could always make an ashtray out of it for the Soho club Steppers..........;)

Skim the head and whack it back on.

Just think of the hp boost with all that increased chamber area :blast:

what do the lumps of shrapnel, i mean valves look like ??
 
Likely One dropped off and snapped the other

It didn;t stop terribly quickly by the look of it
Yes I think the valve dropped a good few times. How the other 2 are still more or less in 1 piece is amazing. JJH
 
Very lucky not to have punched through the piston... At least the engine can probably be saved with a replacement barrel/head/etc.
