Blew it up... GRRRRR!!!!!

Yeah, it's just another chapter in my epic adventure with this car. I'm fed up with the valve train in this car. I had originally set it up with Crane rollers that gave me grief as far as contact with the valve stem. I went with the stockers as a "temporary" solution. I have *maybe* 300 miles on the car and I punched out 2 more. Granted, they were used, but like Mark pointed out, it's unlikely it was time for them to go.....but everything appeared to be lubricated. No apparent galling or scorching.

<sigh....> I'll price out my options and pray my Wife doesn't go thermo-nuclear over todays capers. I'm going to bed......
