Well, while I was at the machine shop, the guy pulledd off all the springs and we checked each valve for ease of movement. They each were very, very sticky. I do have screw in studs and guide plates. Unfortuantely, they didn't keep my old valves for me to see. But they said the one that I thought was bent came right out. In my mind I can see the valve gunked up enough to not close all the way. I'm going to try and get it back together today. I'm going to spray some foamy lube on the top of the valve spring to try and get the gunk off the head of the valve, and see if it will run. Again, other than the one pushrod and broke roller, we can't find any evidence of impact any where. IF the valve didn't close all the way, not because it was bent, but because of gunk, it would also show lower compression. I know it sounds like BS, but I'm at a loss.
We'll see what happens when I fire it up tomorrow !!)

And, why don't my links work properly down here?????
