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.  |

Pull the engine, you'll spend less time doing the repair than trying to do it with the engine still in the car.

It like taking my first step a Little scarry but also an adventure.Serious Rich gave me an easy procedure for pulling it but I just did not have the time to do it. I was hoping that I could get the head off without pulling it.But I think Ineed to pull the other head to so I guess I will have to dive in. Thanks |

Thanks I really dived into the engine maintenance of my teener for the first time last summer. I agree that pulling the engine is a tad scary. However, it really is a lot easier than it first seems. Just remember, if you get into a bind, post your problems and pictures here. There are a ton of people out there that will provide expert advice. Eric |
