    Yikes! Did you lose a spring, retainer, keepers or did the valve just fail?

    everything is still together up top, not sure if it floated them, or if the valve just came apart.

    That is awesome. Next time we have a 15 liter Cummins throw a rod I will snap some pics when you have a piston and rod the size of a coffee can end up upside down the damage is awesome

    yep it's junk, not to mention all the missing pieces that traveled through the intake and beat up all the other pistons, and others still that were in the pan, and oil pickup screen.
