Mike, I'll swing by piston ring comp tomorrow eve. Thank you again!

I don't believe the exhaust springs are the same as the intakes. Did you mic the valve shims? They all look the same, but different thicknesses. It's how valve lash is adjusted. I cannot imagine all five are the same, especially if the valves have been adjusted before?

marbee40 · 07-29-2012, 10:56 PM

I will measure valve shims and keep parts w valves.

Beezer · 07-30-2012, 02:20 AM

pm you... I have all the stuff to cut valves and seats, and yes, I have done this before.... for money even (many years ago)

friar mike · 07-30-2012, 05:03 AM

bring the head with you SO I can con a real mech can confirm you have a valve that is bent (I don't think you do) little hint if the valve shimming was ok the valves are ok did you check? and yes I have a spring compressor.

marbee40 · 07-30-2012, 09:50 AM

Mike, will do!

marbee40 · 07-30-2012, 07:07 PM

Both outside intake valves are wobbly! Thanks Friar! He called it afore he even pulled them out. I'll order new tonight. Thanks Mike!

I assume you mean "wobbly" as in bent (no surprise). how are the guides?

valve guides are like new like the rest of the head (but the two valves ) theres not even any ware on the valve faces or seats not even shiny just no mileage to ware anything to bad with the chain mishap. two new valves send it down the road.
