Hello All,

I'm a bit stumped. Driving home on the highway yesterday, my 1955 Patrician made an awful noise, then I lost a cylinder. I limped home and took off the valve cover to find the washer on the top of one of the springs was broken through, and the spring was no longer attached to the valve. I can't find a breakdown of how the valve is fixed to the spring in my manual, and I don't even know what these various parts are called. Does anyone know what these are and where I could find new ones?

Many thanks,
