Man, that's looks bad. And the picture looks good.

So, does that mean a bented valve will continue to work
until you push it at a very high speed for a long duration?

scooby5, did you see any symptom before it broke?
Any funny noise? Maybe you can give us something to
look for when it happen to our car.

Hahaha, I agree.

So, did you get that cam fixed?

twlai,

As I mentionned in a previous post, I had "mis"diagnosed the problem to cam clearance. The cams on that cylinder were clicking away a bit too loud so I figured I'd check the clearance and it was off, maybe a bit too off in hindsight.

But I thought none of it and simply swapped the underbucket shims to thicker ones, and off I went... It all went to hell on the highway, I guess the stress on the valve from being slightly bent was enough under higher rev to break it.
