Frenching the Piston American style

I stopped by the machine shop this morning to check on the status of
my wagon's engine and I got the low down on what was making all the
racket.

All of the intake valves at one point or another decided to give the
pistons a little kiss. One of them was apparently feeling a little
more amorous than the rest and kissed the piston hard enough to 
result
in a slightly S shaped push rod.

Goes without saying your valve guides may or may
not be a new shape.  

New valve springs and dampners will stop all that
touchey-feeley action in short order.
