While leaving cars & coffee I heard a little back fire and a valve train noise on the driver side. Towed home and searched the cyber web and I determined that I experienced a dropped valve seat. I'll drop the engine tomorrow and pull both heads because I used a not so hot engine guy last time. I need to search out a good heads to purchase. I don't want to repeat the same mistake. Please feel free to make fun of me or suggest a good source for new heads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Before you take the engine out, pull the valve covers and check valve lash. ( a quick wiggle of the rockers will be fine ) Also inspect rocker nuts / rockers / push rods for damage
If it dropped a seat, valve lash will be huge, like 1/4" |
