Bent Push Rob Saga
The Saga continues!!! I got the passenger head off yesterday and it looks like I was wrong about the valves hitting the pistons. Cylinders 2, 4, and 8 show signs of the intake valve hitting the pistons. (See pictures) I haven't taken apart the head yet. A couple questions:
The Saga continues!!! I got the passenger head off yesterday and it looks like I was wrong about the valves hitting the pistons. Cylinders 2, 4, and 8 show signs of the intake valve hitting the pistons. (See pictures) I haven't taken apart the head yet. A couple questions:
- Is this enough damage to the top of the pistons to warrant replacement? I was hoping I could deburr them in the block, clean everything really well, and then reassemble.
- I am going to take apart the head later today but this brings me back to timing issues and if I should check out the front of the engine as well. Does this indicate to anyone that the timing was off? Or is still the most likely issue valves got stuck (in the open position) and started hitting the top of the pistons and bending the push rods?
