It's kinda obvious but lets see who figures out what is wrong in the picture.The pic is a little dark but you can still see what is the problem.

I think i see a broke valve spring

Ding,ding,ding we have a winner.#8 exhaust spring broke,the 2 middle coils are touching each other.Sorry about the small picture,not to good with posting pics yet.Good news was the leakdown shows no valve problem.Was worried it hit the piston.Motor is ready to pull.Good catch for the small dark pic i posted.I'm goona see if this pic shows up bigger.

You said you were overdue to replace the valve springs , should have knocked on some wood . At least there was no major damage done , but it sucks to hear .
