Lol,

how is it valve float ?? the cap snapped in half this time and i sum how broke a colet or it came off last year, ill send u a pic if u send me your number
It depends, why did the valve bend? If it bent because the piston hit the valve head it 'could' have been valve float, ie) the valve was open when it shouldn't have been so the piston hit it causing it to bend, or it could have been bent when the rocker pulled out, or it could have dropped letting the piston hit it when the colet broke. To sum up.... it could have happened for a number of reasons.

If the rocker broke up and didn't do anything nasty you would expect the valve to close and stay closed (nothing opening it).

Not fussed about pics matey, just an interesting and unfortunately common topic.

Rob,
