Rich,
I tried to add a pic in a p.m I sent you but could not do it. Can anyone tell me if looking at this pic there is an indication if the valves are burned or bad?The car has low compression and is near impossible to tune.The pic is of cylinders 1 and 2. Thanks.  |

Unless there's a wedge shaped hole where the valve is burned through, there's not much you can tell without removing the valves and measuring them, as well as making a visual inspection of the seating pattern. Odds are, if they have a lot of miles on 'em, the stems are worn. The intakes may be able to be ground, the exhausts are pretty much throwaways. You seem to have a bit of an oiling problem on one cylinder, and a head leak on the left. Until they're cleaned and carefully inspected for cracks, these heads are a big question mark.

The Cap'n Thanks Cap`n How difficult is it to remove the heads without dropping the engine.Right now I have the head out as far as it can go. Its hits the wheel well and cant go any further.Can the head studs be removed to clear or do I have to drop the engine? |
