Valve/lifter problems.

[Toms306]

Yeh uve got a valve just stuck open a tad, u can hear it dropping comp on one cylinder..

Tom it wont hit the valve, would only do that if the valve was stuck entire way open, but theres no timing issue, so even if it did it would just push the valve home, not bend it.

Ah ok, that makes sense - I was thinking that if the lifter has stuck the valve down, it won't lift again as the cam moves, but I see your point that it'll just push back into place anyway without doing any damage.


Jonny, just incase you haven't got the idea yet as Im not sure anyones suggested it yet...whip the cam cover off...
