Retainer clip broke on the valve........sucked the valve into the top of the piston...........banged a hole in the piston and so on and so on.
Unfortunately this is a common way for this engine to die. It lived a good long life for me. I am proud of it and have it in the shop as we speak getting another one put in. I just can't see driving anything else.
