Stu 18 Posted September 22, 2007 i posted this the first time in the general discussion by mistake! So heres the problem, im just re-assembling the Mi head and have found a single bent inlet (number 6 from the box end) and wondered how you could bend one valve? i havent drove the car as i bought it with the headgasket gone, but i compression tested it and it gave good figures, even on a cold engine. What do we think? also, the guide looks to have moved downwards into the chamber by about 2mm, now i know the guide has no effect on the valve projection into the bore, but could the two be linked? if i was to get hold of another valve and lap it in would it be ok? If anyone has got an Mi inlet (ally block type) valve knocking around pm me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
