I went through this last year... Went for a test drive after installing my fancy new AGR power steering box & pump, hammered down on it, heard a loud expensive 'bang' followed a by the sound of metal rattling around at about 6500 rpm. #1 intake valve head broke off, fell into the chamber and took out the bottom end of a very fresh 454. Threw my plans & budget WAY off. I just now got another motor to put back in the thing.

We feel your pain, and as usual, Marv D is right on the money
