    valve problems

    My thinking was to replace all valves and springs. Should the rockers really be replaced? Guess I will have them looked at. Thanks for all the input guys. The glowplugs were all intact so I do not know what the exhaust sucked up that caused this to happen or if it just happened from the 200+...

    valve problems

    1,3,7,2,4,6,8 are all around 400 psi on my compression tester. number 5 will not build compression due to the fact that the exhaust valve is stuck open .... possibly bent, broken or other wise not correct. I will find out more today when I tear it apart

    valve problems

    Ummm I think I have a problem here. I have exhaust gases coming through the valve spring on the number 5 cylinder. Now that tells me that either the valve spring is broken or the valve is broken. What are the chances it is just a spring? And how do I fix this problem HELP!!!

    Timing and blue smoke

    rotating it towards the passenger side advances the timing... but to do it right you really need a timing meter. Tell where you live maybe some close to you has a meter and can set the timing for you.

    MT-480 Setup tips
