About This Item

The Valve

This is one of the 16 valves from the original engine of my Mazda MX-5. The engine blew up when the water line came loose from the turbo which I'd added to the car, which caused the turbo to overheat, which boiled the engine oil... you can guess the rest.

Like almost everything else in the engine (except for the head gasket - the one part which is designed to fail), this valve is bent out of shape, although you can't see that with the naked eye.

Quite an interesting find. Had no Idea what a valve looked like. I will move on to the next cache big enough to house it.
