Kev.O Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 I wondered who's car it was. Sorry to hear this Hodge. I'll pass this message on to my mechanic, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Right. The valves on the intake side of cylinder 6 are stuck down as are the outlet valves on cylinders 4,5 and 6. We'll be taking the head off once I work out how to remove all the pipework. I'm guessing this is due to the old stem seals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev.O Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Bugger not yours as well Kev.... Gaz. Do you know what caused hodge's to stick Gaz? If it was a build up of carbon why would it only be on 5 valves? What can be done to prevent this from happening to other peoples engines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Ive got the head and when the valves were took out they are choked up with carbon and I mean really clogged. Im thinking something has caused my car to overfuel which has in turn carboned up the valves. I should finish the head early next week hopefully if i can get onto it at work when the boss aint looking. its gona be a race to see who gets theres back together first I suppose. Mines been off the road for almost 4 month now trying to solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know how you get on hodge, best of luck. Thanks bobbeh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
