It snapped the tip of the intake valve off, I still have not found the Exhaust valve retainers. Like Nelson said it was 100% driver error. When the Honda guy came to look at it he said they guy would've had a better chance of a warrenty job if the valve springs broke. The guy who owns this car, called the shop 3 months ago tell us about this car. It took him the 3 months to get it towed up here. I doubt he has the money. I will try and get pics of the car, it a piece of work in its self.
