Here is an example of poor quality control
I did a leak down test and found the intake valve leaking.
I have found this on 2 of these engines.
They put a valve seal on the head then they put a valve spring seat and then another valve seal.
Both of the intake valves are broken and one of them punched a new hole in the head.

I can't figure out how to post pictures.

Az, you would need to upload them to an image hosting like Imgur and resize to 600x600 or less. Then using the Img button on your new post to screen insert a link to the image hosting site image file location.

This is because do not directly your images, instead using an offsite image hosts and via links to those images.

Look like the retainer end wore off. I had one worn valve like that on a L-head but I haven't seen one that punch through the head like that yet. Definitely different and is a major failure.
