if you are planning to remove the heads...its obvious if you dropped a seat.
If you want to check from just the valve covers...look for a valve height that is different...

Next question, what exactly should i be looking for on the head/ or valves.


The valve seat you dropped. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

read carefully my friend

i have dropped a seat before and the adjustment got really really loose.

my adjustmernt on intake cylender # 1 has gotten tighter and tighter at least 3 times in the last 20 days. Chris had said somthing a bout the possibilty of a valve stretching?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

i have no idea

a seat that is getting beat into the head would also do this.

That is why I asked...what are you planning...
Gonna take the heads off or try to diagnose this via the valve covers.
Both can be done...

Looks like my intake seat has been hammerd inward just as you guys thought. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Take a look. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

the head is on its way back to rimco, it has only been 6k miles since it was done. they said they would fix it for me.

your thoughts are welcome.

I see head leaks too. You really won't like the probable cause. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Joe, my machinist down here is really good and used to own a shop building type 1 and type 4 engines in the 70-80's. RIMJOb....errrrrrr RIMCO should make good BUT, Worst case, give them to me. Danny isn't cheap, But he is damn good and a damn anal machinist. He is the ONLY guy in town I trust to do aircooled engine machining

so what is the verdict?

Rimco did a pisspoor job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

the head is already in the mail and they said they would fix it. Dont worry, I learned my lesson, but I have already paid this job and they need to fix it.

I always know how to pick em (IMG:style_emoticons/default/051103-stupid4.gif)

Bummer on that valve seat Joe, but at least Rimco is going to fix you up. Still sucks that you had to go through all this grief though. Do you keep the batteries charged and run the stereo once in a while when the engine is out? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
