SORTA PRELIMINARY
PULL YOUR VALVE COVER AND SEE IF THE VALVE IS IN THE "STUCK OPEN" POSITION (MOST LIKELY IT IS BURNT, SORTA LIKE A CRACK ON THE EDGE, ONLY SEEN WHEN THE HEAD IS REMOVED). BUT, I HAVE SEEN THE SMALL MIRACLE THINGS HAPPEN!
VALVE STUCK OPEN!--A SHOT OF PENETRATING OIL---A LITTLE TAPPING ON THE STEM---WAH-LAH!---IT MOVES AGAIN!
JUST LOOK FOR A FLOPPY ROCKER ARM (MAY HAVE TO ROTATE THE ENGINE TO REALLY SEE IT FLOPPING)
IF THINGS DON'T WORK OUT EZ, PULLING AND RE INSTALLING THE HEAD YOURSELF. COST OF GASKETS AND. AROUND HERE, THE ENTIRE MACHINING END AND A NEW VALVE IS NORMALLY LESS THAN $100
GOOD LUCK, KEEP US UPDATED
