    Good luck at the track Gary!
    Thanks! Hopefully the CSX will be well behaved.

    Exactly! Note the difference between the two valves that you can see.... the one with the follower that is missing is still open. Me thinks the valve seat has unseated itself from the head and is keeping the valve open.... sucks.

    That looks familiar... I went the extreme option and had all of mine replaced after losing one.
