It was a theory, but thats why I ask which valves and springs first...

I've seen the stockers randomly fail, but aftermarket if it isn't caused by a foreign object, it usually is a tuning issue. To heavy of a spring on a stock valve can cause added stress at the base of the valve as well.

But Brandon answered my question before I had to ask the 2nd one. Tough break Brandon.
