I got kinda lucky the valve bounced around a few times and got stuck back in the port which it belongs too. No damage to the cylender walls, other valves, and the head (I think)will be fine. I will need a new piston and I will get some new valves(replace all 4), it will be better than ever.
I did have a flat in the midrange (to rich) so last week I rejetted and I got alot more midrange. It is on the right track with a ton of power up to the exit the bowl. Luckily I coasted alll the way back to the pits. ;D
