Default valve

If it wasn't for bad luck,wouldn't have any luck.!!!!!,Don't think i can save the head(brand new) piston has several holes in it,(brand new) and yes it looks like the stem broke and then the valve dropped.never seen one break at the stem like that before.As i said before the other seven cylinders are happy,and look great.Beats me?The valve spring came off with the stem still in place with the keepers ,and retainer all in one piece.!!! go figure. ops:
