Title: bent valves, perhaps?javascript:void(0);
Post by: ericeek on October 15, 2008, 07:38:45 PM
is it possible that both intake valves are bent due to the fact that both intake valve clearances are equal to eachother even theyre waaayyy out of spec? im thinking that the goo that i found in the intake track perhaps may have hung the valves up and the piston hit them  sooooo if that the case where can i find some valves that are cheaply priced????
PS this website is gr8 like me lol  O0 <- me

If you suspect bent valves, the best thing to do is remove the head and check. No point buying new parts until you've identified the problem.

With the cams pointing away from the valve, in darkness, shine a light in the spark plug hole and see if you can see it in the intake port.
That was how lopee found his exhaust valve was bent.
Cool.
