BMW CHOKES - The Blue Rat Drops A Valve

My '74 BMW R60/6  ...AKA The Blue Rat...dropped a valve due to badly worn valve guides. Learning curve...if you get a flat spot after 3000 RPM's it may not be the carbies. Here are some nice shots of the damage.









Very nice cratering of the piston crown!











Beautifully embedded valve tulip. Well done!








One cycle lift is not enough.

Bragging rights...got her down low enough to grind her heads! She's an old girl...but she puts out.
(yes I was scared)
