Well after a thorough cleaning of the combustion chamber and swapping around of injectors and and wiring to no success, I spun the engine over by hand to figure out when the air was leaking past the valve. A few times around and it became pretty clear that if any air was getting by the valve while it was close it wasn't much and it wasn't until the valve started opening that a rather strong puff of air could be felt. So it seems like whatever crud was in there it isn't or wasn't causing the intake valve to not seat. Hypothesizing that perhaps it wasn't a problem with the intake valve, but that the exhaust valve wasn't opening for some reason I drained the oil, lowered the engine (again) and found this:

QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Sep 3 2004, 09:50 PM) Pop on a rocker on it at this point. If the valve is bent.. it will break the next rocker you put on it. This sucks man. I read your last post where you described the metal coming out the exhaust. I felt so bad that I didnt reply.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) B Hi Brad, Thanks for the support and info. It certainly is frustrating and painful, but at least now that I know what at least one problem is I can start fixing it. Got a new rocker on this evening, and it's all adjusted. Engine turns over by hand with no resistance and I'm going to pop the right side header off tomorrow to see if I can hear any leaking at the valve. I'm putting the word out locally that I'm looking for a borescope to buy/borrow as I'd really like to get an eyeball on what the hell kind of party is going on in there (and with all that bumping in grinding going on, why I wasn't invited). Thanks again for the advice. Adam |
