    Yep...I was just driving down the freeway at 3K and she let go. I am sure I hurt my valvetrain but I do have the GSR Mahle 10.5 to 1 pistons so the valve reliefs are larger than the ones on stock LS pistons. I can only hope I got lucky. At least I got my other car (91 Talon AWD) to get me around.

    That sucks... I hope that the damage is isolated to just the valves. If so, you will make out fairly easy financially.
