Really  sucks to have it go out on you at highway
speeds.  It's never  pretty.



Lost one just dropping to 35mph.  Bent 1 or 2 valves.   Same car, it jumped 
a tooth, at 60mph, 
going over the mountain pass with 3 or 4 of us in the car.  Turned  around, 
coasted most of the 
way home then Dad towed us home.  Only jumped a tooth, lost power,  sounded 
"wrong" white 
smoke...
  Wasn't too long until I finally tracked my troubles down to a worn  input 
shaft bushing on the 
injector pump.  Knew the belt wasn't tracking but kept looking for  
something bent and 
expected that to be a  roller bearing instead of a bushing so the  wobble 
isn't felt if you 
wiggle it the wrong way!
