Anyone know what a valve bucket is?

I got a call from Lexus saying that my car was finished, butttt when they tested it, the motor was running kind of choppy. The tech said that its most likely a stuck valve bucket and that they should have parts in tomorrow and that I should have my car by tomorrow or the next.

WOW free Head job at the cost of a timing belt, lol that is hella awesome, I would be pretty pissed at this incident, but then i would be extremely happy, free head job. Well its nice to hear you had luck with that i had a similar problem but AAA dropped a liter of diesel in my empty tank, they did a fuel system flush and runs better than before even get better gas mileage, lol

a lot of things could go wrong with the timing all jacked up. i would demand to have the head completely rebuilt and the block inspected. i'd also want printouts of the results on everything.

if they ran the car long (or even revved it) with the timing messed up, there could be LOTS of problems afterwards. trust me. i've seen it

I trust the guy working on it. He showed me the valves that were bent. Like 4 of them were ever so slightly bent.
