| Post subject: | Valve stuck in head -3.7L |
Eugene had trouble starting yesterday and was towed home. It would start with throttle applied, but ran really rough with tapping coming from the right bank. I pulled the valve cover off this morning and discovered that the foremost valve (intake I believe) is not pressing it's rocker against the cam. The cam is in position for the valve to be closed, but there is a measured .7 mm gap between them. Certainly, a valve job needs to be done. Does anyone know if the intake valves are interference valves on these engines? |

Talked to a couple head rebuilders. They both think the valve seat dropped. Common problem. Usually not fatal to the engine. |
