| Post subject: | Valve damage when rockers fail due to interference? |
So I am staring down the barrel of a rocker replacement job after, I think, my timing belt slipped (see my previous thread). I know that the rockers are designed to fail, but I am wondering if that is really effective enough to completely preserve the valves? Even with broken rockers I would expect a bent or broken valve on most other interference engines. For those who have dealt with this a lot, when the pistons hit the valves, how common is it really that the rockers are the only part damaged? When you replace the rockers, do you also do a compression test or something to check for bent valves? |

If you have broken valve rockers you should remove the corresponding valves to make sure the steams are straight. any slight deviation from being straight can cause a valve to drop. |
