sticking exhaust valves
Well, as you can tell from the subject line I have problems. My exhuast
valves seem to be sticking after my engine warms up producing a total power fall off and non stop backfires. Is there any hope of an engine flush doing any good or is this a total overhaul situation?? Leonard in Laredo (74 Thing 12K miles) |

Sounds like the valve guides may be too tight; Pull heads off and ream 'em out a hair.
