Engine Clanking -WTF!!!

What are you guys speculating (Shane, Mo, Swanny) about? Pre ignition causing the valve to snap and dominate the shit out of everything it can? Seems relatively obvious to me that this was a random valve failure. Even more so after what he just posted.

I'm with this theory.

It was a theory, but thats why I ask which valves and springs first...

I've seen the stockers randomly fail, but aftermarket if it isn't caused by a foreign object, it usually is a tuning issue. To heavy of a spring on a stock valve can cause added stress at the base of the valve as well.

But Brandon answered my question before I had to ask the 2nd one. Tough break Brandon.
