No dropped valve. A bolt got into the cylinder and bent the head. This was the worst winter in a loooong time, so I never could work on it.

Well.... I wanted to fire it saturday, but weather is NOT looking good anymore. It was supposed to be sun all this week/weekend and now they are saying Rain for Wed-Sun. Figures huh? I have a track rental on the 27th to go to also if I can get it running. I'm trying not to rush things and create another issue.
