First, let me say, it IS an LS1, but everyone likes a little carnage!!
Dropped a valve on the way to work a couple days ago, and it got ugly! Time for more power i guess!
Afterwards, i checked the spring pressures on the remaining springs, and found out they were all bad..
Installed height (1.8") should have been 125lbs.. It was 90
Compressed Height (1.2") should have been 348lbs... It was 260 at most..
Even at coild bind (1.11"), i was still UNDER 300lbs.
On to the aftermath, Enjoy:
This is how the valve was sitting when i found it:
Shrapnel out of the intake manifold. Yes thats the valve stem:
The expensive part:
