Had a minor valve tick sound and pulled vc off and found an acorn ... like just the empty shell in there.

don't know about found in the engine, but I never found this missing piece... :shruggy:
 
A blue shop towel. Most of it anyway.
 
Bought a low mileage 413 from a junkyard a few years ago. Looked OK, but found out it had sat long enough for the valley pan gasket to rust through, I found water, rust, and a locked up engine...

I was driving my old Hemi Charger years ago & all of a sudden the engine started running rough & at the same time, I heard a clanking go through the exhaust system. Checking with a compression tester, I found one cylinder with no pressure. Pulled the head off & I found that a chunk of the exhaust valve had broken off & blew right out. Had that gone into the cylinder, it really could have been a mess. I guess I really dodged a bullet that time.
