Heh... my poor 200,000 mile 80hp 1960 4-door had an intake seat come 
out which damn near ruined the engine, seat got cocked sideways after 
the intake valve bent, cracked the piston and jammed it in the 
cylinder which then locked up the engine.

Been there done that several times along the way... ;)     The '60 
has  been up and running again except for an errant carb which I'm 
tired of messing with and will get replaced this weekend.    I dare 
it to spit out another seat...
