Does the part look like one of these?

If so, then yes you have a BIG problem.
The engine will have to be removed and disassembled.
If not, look at the other diagrams of Partzilla.com to see if you can identify what the part is.

Hello Dave, Yes, herself, I know that I have the big problem, but don't understand how to fell. we call here "Hydraulic Shock" when a malfunction of the engine, Fills the gas cylinder and does not burn, that consequently push the valve until it left the rocker arm.
Someone has some head cylinder valve for sale?

After reading the original post a couple of times I suspect the word "fall" is a translation error and should be "failed".
It also sounds a little bit like he just plain blew the engine .
That's the only way I can see a rocker outside the engine .But then again it may be in my translation ,
He did say it "fell" and hit the fender
Any resemblance to swearing is probably also translation errors .

From the screen capture that you posted it looks like the head is broken and you could get a replacement head. I saw one on EBAY for around $200.00 USD. and the I would imagine that you are going to have to pull the motor the change it. If that is the case you might be better off seeing inf you could locate a used motor and putting it in less work to accomplish the same thing. I'm sure you should be able to locate a motor with less then 100,00 miles on it.I would not hesitate to put one in with those miles on it as these motors are good up to 300,00 miles or more if take care of properly. Just some food for thought
