Engine Problem

Hi Fellows;

Do you know a good geek-mechanic for open hard surgery in Arlington, TX area? If so please referral to me.
The problem: a valve spring broken and it followed down to the piston - most probably it happen.

Thanks for any info.

how far have you gone in the diagnostic process? did you pull the valve cover(s) and saw at least one missing valve? have you pulled the cylinder heads?

Sounds like an excuse to eliminate the problem with a LS swap. Lol
