Here's a photo of where the valve hit #2 on the left hand side. Pushrod on this valve was pretty bent up.
I put on over 150 miles today taking the head to a machine shop in over in Alexandria, then back home for lunch, and then up to Bluffton to a fellow who will do the injectors. Only 1 injector cracked within the specified 2,700-2,800lbs. All the others cracked at between 3,300-3,500lbs.
I've got parts on order and if the head comes back okay with no cracks in it and the valve job complete, we'll begin reassembly. I should know on the head by the end of the week.
