Yep!  Bet it sounded just like one of those Fisher-Price "push poppers" that two year olds have such fun with!

How'd ja doo it?  Inquiring minds want to know.  Was the oil distribution line by the cam shaft plugged?  Filter?  Oil pump?  Oil level?  Dirty oil?  Was it just one cylinder(hard to tell from photos)???? :evil:  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:

Hello ejm,

Looks like you dropped an valve in number five cylinder. Usually happens after a valve guide comes loose in the head and the car is kept in use. Eventually things wear, shake and rattle around so much that the keepers let go dropping the valve for  a short ride on top of the piston.
