Re: Engine Clanking -WTF!!!

From what I've gathered from many others, is that OEM valves are of a 2 piece design, which means when they are built, they start as 2 pieces and are then fused together some how to create a single valve. And that is where mine snapped, about where they would have been fused. Apparently 2 piece valves are weaker at that fuse point as well. Maybe it was just old and ready to go, and thank god it atleast died at a lower RPM and only a couple blocks from my house, rather then at 8K RPM on DB's dyno.
