It's a small knick in the valve head, nothing broken off. The material was magnetic, so who knows what it actually was before it got mashed. Valve recession on 6&8 crudely measured with a straight edge and feelers shows .016-.024 and head thickness measured at 3.744. Sent from my LG-H872...

I should probably also mention that the ticking came and went on the trip home, it's not like it did it all the time. There was no glitter in the oil when I changed it either, I'll pull the filter apart and look at it tomorrow. It's cold and late right now. I've been watching videos and it's...
