Guys I have a motor, that I was sure that lost a valve seat. Come to find
out the valve train is in tact but a bit bent on the number 8 CYL. The
piston look to be in one piece, So I dont have a clue where it could come
from, I was even thinking maybe a piece of the ring got up into the cyl,
then realized that was foolish.

What ever it was bounced around in the CYL for some time and caused havoc
with the head and piston, so both are junk and will be replaced tomorrow.

Anyone have an idea of what it could be? I pulled a piece out that was about
7mm long and the original pieces were larger. There is no damage to the
valve seat side of the valve so it didnt come in that way.. Just curious of
what your thought are.
