Going to get a compression tester this afternoon and will likely end up having to pull at least the cam tower. I have a feeling I have a bent valve or two so I might end up pulling the head this week end. Looks like Ill be missing the Road Atlanta race next week end as a result.

Any suggestions on where to get some good lifters? While Im in there Im going to test/replace the ones that wont hold pressure. I also might need a complete head if anyone has one they would like to sell.

Cam tower off after a leak down test showed complete loss of pressure on all cylinders. Visual inspection looks like I have floated valve seals.

I am guessing I shouldn't be able to see a rubbing ring with a spring (seal) pushed up the stem of the valve? Is this a valve seal that's been pushed up the valve?

EDIT: After removing the head, I confirmed that the exhaust valves are bent. It basically just looks like a love tap on the piston enough to not allow them to seat properly anymore.
