So I look into the exhaust ports on the head and I say to myself why are these skinny metal tube looking things in the port and they look like they where broken. I say to myself aww **** I know these are not the valves. Plz lord this cant be. So I turned the crank pulley and look again I see the other half of the skinny tube looking thing. I get some gum made it nice and sticky. Reach inside with a flat head with the gum on the end. Magnet wouldnt work.

So I Pull up on it and I see the Flat surface. Its the damn valve all of them are broken. The one I can see on the exhaust side.

I feel like a straight asshole, I cant believe I broke them. This was from tryin to start the car.



Didn't I tell you in your last thread that you bent the valves. I said that the motor is locking up because the valves were touching the pistons but you said it was not that.

^Get one. I drove one for the first time the other day and the VE motor is the truth right out of the box. If I didn't have this 10.1 motor in my storage building, I would be ordering one soon. It's not in the car yet, so if someone buys my 10.1 motor I will be ordering one.

words to live by.

always turn the crank by hand, if it stops and doesn't turn, stop and analyze why...

instead of putting it all back together only to find out ....

Yep thats my rule of thumb.

Always turn over motor after major work. Also never turn over motor by hand with tensioner out, make sure it is set and tensioned.

I dont take cheese. That amount takes to long to eat and most of it will spoil.

I do take cash.

well if you can provide 2 slices of bread with 1 slice cheese we almost have a sandwich. Now I am not sure how many slices of bread and cheese add up to a VE but just remember to keep it on a 2 to 1 basis.
