valve disintergration
I took the head off my MG midget 1500 and have one shattered valve but
found parts in all the cylinders, really weird, any thoughts on this, like if they could be sucked all the way around the manifold??? |

There is a good chance that the bearings have taken a hit, too. Matal fragments in an engine, like sand, get into EVERYTHING! -- Remove _'s from email address to talk to me. |
