I purchased a 1.7 from EASY. before I put the motor in I did a valve adjustment and noticed the intake v. on cyl. #2 was different than the rest. It also had a dish shape wearing into the top. I adjusted by feel best I could and went for it. When the motor fired there was a valvetrain noise coming from that side of the motor.
I inspected it and found not only did the vavle lash increase but as the rocker pushes the valve it moves side to side. the motor is out now. should I run it, or pull the head and replace the valve? |

Eventually, the top of the valve will mushroom to the point where it cannot be removed from the head.
It is also possible that the screw/valve tip could catch and bend or break the valve. You are into the soft metal on the valve tip...your adjustment will not last any length of time. Your choice... |
