OK gear heads. What caused this?
Back story. Looking at a boat. During transport from sellers property to the dealer one egine drops a valve. Engine is being replaced with a 'new' motor. Sales person is finding out if new is indeed new, reman etc. Engines have about 600 hours on them (2002 SBC, 5.7L Volvo 260hp)
So what caused this? And more importantly could it happen to the other engine? (I know that yes it could) Is this a maintenance issue? The engines have been run hard issue? Or a fluke/once in a million chance happening.
The good news (for me) is that it has happened on the sellers watch.
