Broken Valve Spring.

I guess the moral of the story is if I hadn’t keep running the car after it stopped putting out power, I might’ve gotten away with just a valve spring. Since I kept running the car until I heard expensive noises now it’s a rebuild. Maybe there’s a lesson in that I don’t know LOL

Edit: Kept going with the tear down and got the 1-3 head off. As expected there were three valves broken off, the head was kind of munched, Cylinder walls were cracked, and there was a small chunk missing out of the bearing carrier. now I have to try to source one of those.Got a lead though we’ll see what happens.
