bent valves
 

Well I finally ditched the edge tuner, and got a TS, stage one injectors, and gauges. I got everything in and it was ana amazing ride. Night and day difference in the power. I let my buddy drive it, and he brought it back with a thumping from the intake. I pulled the valve covers and saw a pushrod bent into an S on cylinder 3 intake valve. And cylinder 7 with a rocker hold down bolt broken. What should I do to keep this from happening? Whats the best brands to throw back in it? If i stay stock could I just buy a reman passenger side head because thats the bad side. Also can I reuse headstuds?

Does it have head bolts or aftermarket head studs?

It was just pushrods thank god. Sorry for the late reply I have been working 7-12's

What boost levels are you pushing? There is no way you should be floating valves with stage 1's... What RPM's was he pushing?
