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".
