1 Lucky Texan Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 intake valve(s) open when it shouldn't be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachlan Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 What might cause that? I got a long block from the pick n pay, looked fairly clean under the valve covers. It's OHV, so I'd imagine it's pretty hard to 'skip teeth' like an OHC with a timing belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
