Which astonishes me considering the floofiness of the valve springs. The valves must be super light.


Holes stretch? From force or heat/friction? Acute overheating would cause metal expansion, right, and lubricants to heat to dangerously thin levels resulting in metal on metal contact? If that is what we are talking about then could that much heat really occur in a second or two max? I can't see it happening.
