Oil level was fine, changed the day before this happened, still shows full. Well a little over full now that theres some coolant in the oil pan. The exhaust valve is still in place but all that remains of the intake valve is the stem. The rocker arms were all still in place and the cam doesn't appear to have any damage. I hate to say it but I'm seriously thinking about going back to diesel. I'm looking at an 84 300sd with 134k with records from 20k to present. It may turn out to be my driver so I can slowly put the 420 back together the right way. I can get the 300 for 2500 bucks or less because the owner is being re-assigned overseas and can't take it with him. It's a very nice car. What do you guys think?
