It's a Dart block, prepped cost is about $2,500-3,000. I'll talk to the machine shop and see what needs to be done, and what it costs. Might be cheaper to buy a new one from Mike Forte. Might not be. We'll see.
I was decelerating when it happend; 4th gear and closed throttle. Hadn't quit got on the brakes yet, and hadn't downshifted yet.
Lash caps sound interesting. I thought the were simply to support the valve tip, or correct geometry issues by making the valve stem a tad longer. I didn't know they pushed down on the locks. If that's the case, whay are they not used very much? They're pretty cheap.
I looked at the tips of the remaining valves under a magnifier, and they look fine.
