2 bent exhaust valves so it looks like I was lucky

Thanks I think it's just bad luck however it's nothing I can't fix and I like a challenge. Luckily my head seems to have survived as that was the most expensive part of the engine!IMG_3973_0.thumb.JPG.2d6fe4fdeff6e6c7d8337ceb95d04d04.JPG

Bearing all seem good so I don't think it's a lubrication issue I should have the all the parts together in the next few weeks for the rebuild. I may manage a track day in September
