Quite honestly that was where she let go, then she tossed all her belts and I coasted home and towed her into the garage. But yes, its basically the worst time to have a problem, all the machine shops will be gettin busy if not swamped at this time. I guess it's a hell of a lot better than blowing a rod through the block..quite honestly a bent valve won't break the bank and is relatively easy. When I heard the rough idle, the zero amps, no power steering and dead brakes, and it wanted to die without throttle I thought it was quite a bit worse. Shut her down and coasted in. Last time was a lot worse. Valve seat came out and blew away 4 of my pistons and scored the cylinder walls, not to mention the damage to the head....
