are my valves shaggged?

Post by pongo »

Its a Diesel and was doing my valve stem seals( have motor out anyway) and put 90psi of air into cylinders to hold valves, and noticed a heap of air escaping past the exhaust valve on 1 cylinder,

Then i tried another and that one was leaking but not as bad.

Im figuring the blown manifold gasket has done more damage than hoped for.

Sounds like they could be burnt unfortunately, but try putting the springs back on the valves and see if air still gets through with a hundred or so pounds of spring holding the valve closed.
