Found some bent valves...

Damn wreck in the dragster took out 2 valves too! Just tore the engine down and found the intake and exhaust valves on cylinder #8 bent. The intake just barely missed the seat on one small spot when I mark it and spin it to check contact. The exhaust is clearly bent!
Hopefully that's all as I dig into it some more. I'm going to pull that rod car and see if the bearing looks OK.
Lem, you got some valves in stock?

Lem, I'll call you Tuesday.
I also found the 2 roller rockers beat up on the roller tip and the studs have some scoring too. I figure I'll replace the rocker and studs too.
The rod bearing looked fine though.
