Rail Rockers on 289 Small Block Heads

Shaggy,

Say that they didn't do 1 of those things and that is what cause the failure. It appears that the valve got stuck and then was tapped by the piston.

What kind of damage could this have caused? I mean, when I go tomorrow to talk to this guy, what should I make sure I ask him to do or make sure he checks.

From conversations over the phone he seemed to think that they probably put too soft or short a spring and due to the lift it caused the spring to bind.

Is it possible the the rotating assembly may still be ok, or should I just expect it to be completely gone.

I think we've finally narrowed it down, now I just want to get the fine details as to what to ask/say when I meet him.
