If the head wasn't properly reconditioned, the valve could be overheating and breaks from metal fatigue. Valve guides do more than just center the valve in the hole, they also allow the valve to dissipate heat. If the valve is not getting enough contact surface it will run hotter than it should and it can break. It's quite rare for this condition to show up in a water cooled engine, but it was very common among air-cooled VW engines. Another possibility, which is actually far more probable, the engine could be running too lean and/or the EGR valve could be faulty causing the exhaust valves to run too hot... resulting in the same thing; overheating valves that break from metal fatigue.
There is an engine block which houses all the moving parts of an internal combustion engine, and a cylinder which is a part of that block, the cylinder is where the piston moves inside and where combustion takes place.
A piston is attached to a piston rod in a combustion engine. It compresses the air in the cylinder block and that air ignites when fuel is injected into the block, giving the car power.
block heater are generally associated with diesel engines but they do make block heaters for some gas cars.
If equipped normally a block heater is installed in freeze out plug on the block. Unaware of this being a factory option.
piston is a plunger that moves ups and down in the engine block.the function of the piston is to compress air mixtures in the engine block
No, this could lead to endless pickaxe life if you switch right before the block breaks.

well it is very simple, Stand on The Block You want to place the piston on. Once that's done quickly jump and place the piston.
a block is not a kind of motor, is is a piece of a motor. it is the part that the piston moves up and down in.
The difference between a piston and a plunger may be understood if you observe what forms the seal that precludes the fluid from passing either the Plunger or Piston. The 'piston' is a steel block equipped with elastomers that makes wall contact with the cylinder wall. As it moves inside the cylinder it wipes the wall and displaces the entire content of the cylinder. In this case the seals form part of the piston. The 'plunger' is a steel block that moves through a hole that is equipped with elastomer seals. The plunger displaces a portion of the cylinder contents, i.e., the volume of the plunger that enters the cylinder. The plunger does not wipe the walls of the cylinder. The seals, in case, are a part of the cylinder block. Umair Aslam Mechanical Engineer PARCO, Pakistan
There is no clearance of the ring to the block. The ring works in contact with the block to seal the combustion chamber and provide oil control.
