So doing a valve adjustment i found #3 intake to be very loose. I started to adjust and then found this. Why/how did this happen?
Also, why are my leakdown tests consistently 20% leaking through the case? Rings? I did it cold and the engine looks to be rebuilt from how clean the inside of the heads were. |

Thanks!
The valve had a slight knick on the edge, looks to be outside of the adjuster impact zone so I think we are ok. |

Should be ok then...you dodged a bullet there,I would check the rest carefully if chipped or really worn you should replace them all ,they aren't very expensive. EMW sell them as far as I know. It's obviously not good the have hardened steel particles (ferrous metal ) in your oil...I would remove and check the oil strainer as a "just in case" and look for wear and damage to the rocker arm and pushrod of that cylinder. Good luck. |
