I had a stuck valve cause a lot of vibration and power loss once.
Lucky me, I was on the ground when it happened. Thanks for the post.
Glad you made it out safe. $3k is painful but you walked away.

That's what happened to me as well. I've still got the piston and cylinder
around as a souvenir. Blasted a hole right through the top of the piston.
