Default Anyone experience valve tips breaking off like this...

These are the stock heads, stock valves, and everyone of the exhaust valve tips are breaking off as the ones in the pics! Less than 40,000miles on these heads, went with TR224 cam and 918 springs, and then later to the TSP 231/237 112* Cam and new 918 Springs. Never seen this **** before, especially since they were stock not some offshore "drop in replacement".

Thats normal.All stock exhaust valves are like that because they are not a 1 peice valve.Nothing to worry about

Hmm.. never paid that much attention to it til I just pulled the springs off. Freaked me out. Guess that would explain it, duh to me!
