He would have to tear the motor apart to see what really happened.

I had one motor drop a valve for no reason once. Another motor, I had a Crane triple valve spring break and hold the valve part way open. Lucky, it didn't do any damage.

Got my Z back on Saturday. New long block, flex plate and intake manifold. Needed the manifold because it was polluted with shrapnel from the engine grenading. It really looked like someone dropped a bomb in there. There would have been no way to clean it out. Total price with labor $6485.

Drove great on Saturday. Only did 15 miles as the weather sucked. However, it has a couple oil leaks so taking it back in the shop on Wednesday to have that taken care of. Hopefully easy fix.
