valve problems

Post by ricky2727 »

hi all .
my problem is as follows .
i thort i had a liffter problem after replacing them i noticed the top off two
valves was chewed off to the colets .
would any one know why it has done this ?
could it have been a over time thing ?
or lake off services ie rocker ajustment ?
as i have only had this 4wd for a week i dont know service history .
it is a toyota hilux 3.8 chevy carbie motor .
also the valve seats look good and gides have no play in them .
any info would be great help .
as i dont want to put new valves in and they get chewed as well .
thank you ricky
