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?

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.
