Ok, so i found shards of metal on the magnet on my oil drain plug. im thinking, holy geez, something is super gayed up. so i can tell the metal fragments are from a valve spring seat, but i dont know which one. so yesterday i pulled off the drivers side cover and saw a shred of metal hanging from the second spring from the front. im thinking i will just grab it, but no, its stuck under the spring still. so i pressure up the cylinder and compress the springs, take out the keepers and start to pull the little fragments out by hand. then i grab a magnet. i stick it down there, and what do you think happened? THE STOCK VALVE SPRING SEAT CAME UP ON THE MAGNET!!! i didnt even see the dang thing, when i installed the new springs, or even this time, it just blended in. so, i had an extra seat laying around, and threw it in, and buttoned it up. no wonder i was burning oil, it was all going down in the cylinder lol. oh well, all is back to good. Time to hit the drags this weekend!!

 

That sucks, dude....not really too funny... LOL!

 

Ouch...I agree not funny.
