Re: 03 Dropped a Valve
I've had two 2.0 SOHC engines do this(2000 and 2002). One didn't drop the valve, the seat started moving around. When I heard the ticking start, I had the head re-done and it's been fine going on two years now. The other ,did drop the valve. It took out a piston and bent the rod.
If you can find an engine, swapping it out is not that bad.
Hope this helps.
