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?

Hi Dave, I talked to John at EASY, he has been real good with all my needs. He understands what is going on and will replace the bad valve.

The head came off this am. It looks like there is a problem with the intake valve in the other cyl., it has a pit forming in the middle of it. that makes both intake valves on the same side

I know it is the cheap way out but will it work to get new valves and lap them to the seat and go for it.

I also pulled the cyl.'s to check the rings and they are pretty gunked up, I'm thinking I should clean them and re install.

should I lightly hone lthe cyl.

Basicly, what is the bast way to freshen it up a little without spending lots

I am eventually going to build a 2.0 when I do a complete restore. This one is for just driving and shaking the car down for problems.
