do not overheat

I am in the process of putting a 2000 xk8 back into service that the previous owner continued to drive after blowing the hose at the norma connector. I thought I would share what an overheated aj 27 does when it drops the valve seat.
Boy does it chew up the works.
Lesson is if you blow a hose shut her down and call a tow truck. or carry a hose clamp to reconnect the hose.
I found pieces of the valve seat in the intake manifold.
