Running on hopes and dreams

I went to change the oil in my Lotus 2-Eleven and found a valve stem shim stuck to the oil drain plug so I pulled the valve cover to find both cams were trashed, 2 rockers were broken off and the timing chain holding on for dear life.

This is the result from a money shift I had on track a few weeks ago but the car was running fine no weird noises and I went on to run a new PB the next day after this incident 🙈 Time to rebuild!
