Broken Valve Carnage

Postby Dave » Fri Jan 29, 2010 11:00 am

I was going through some pics for a 6.5 topic and ran across these from a "rough running" '06 Dodge. We were not entirely sure as to the reason for the failure but the customer recently had stiffer valve springs installed, by another shop I might add.

Hmm... that doesn't look right

Note the severe bend on the valve to the right.

Unfortunately, the violence in the cylinder caused the wall to crack. Major engine failure.
