Re:HELP, engine died! valve broken!!! read
why my triple post? errors?
i checked my oil level, it was in spec..
i have NO idea why the oil light comes on for a while.. and yeah.. if it's just a broken valve, i should be able to run on 3 cyl.. it doesn't crank and it DIED so something else fucked up.

Could you have broken the crank? you said it doesn't even spin now? it almost sounds like the retainer broke and the valve dropped. The oil light might have been coming on because the crank bearings were shot and the oil had no pressure. Hard to say what really happeded.

If you crank it over does the crank spin? it might go wwwweeeeeeeeeeeee because of absolutely no compresion. My suspicion is that your bearings on the crank were going bad and that is causing the low oil pressure light to come on. Its just a theory though. If the crank does not spin then I would guess that it broke and its possible the shock broke the retainer. You could just of had a faulty retainer.

hmm.. all the cylinders had no compression?? yeah it went wheeeeeeeeeeeee.... i only saw 1 broken valve... stupid bearings were probably not getting enough oil at high rpm.... some defect from factory.. i dunno
