Reply to "Valve Stuck Open"

perryhMember

The pushrods are straight. I took all of the rockers off and checked.

I can’t inspect the valve stems without either pulling the head or doing the rope trick and taking the springs off.

I did a compression test and got a lot of fun wacky numbers. High of 170 and a low of 40 - with everything in between. The low ones could be sticky valve stems/rusty valve seats.

I was hoping to get it running with this motor so I could putt around in it while restoring other things - saving the engine rebuild for last.
