Intake valve was bent, you can see where the piston hit. Luckily no piston damage. It was stuck in the guide, was a real pain to get out, but once I got it out and sprayed a little lubricant in the guide it moved freely enough. There is a small gouge in the valve stem near the top, I cant tell if something may have gotten in there and cause the valve to stick or it is just coincidence. I really dont know what happened or why. Sometime between shutting it off when I got to work and starting it to go home this happened. If it was a hydrolock problem you would think it would have happened when I started it to go to work, after all I didnt drive it all weekend, and that shouldnt have bent the valve anyway. I will be putting it all back together this weekend and hopefully it was just a fluke thing that wont happen again. On a side note, after 143,000 miles there is almost no carbon on the the pistons, valves etc. I am amazed at how clean the internals are.
