Bad Noise after cam install, can you say bent Valves

andres0286 · May 24th, 2008, 01:01 PM

Yeap, you guys got it. We did the compression test and the intake valves on that side are leaking. We are getting new ones on monday. I have a question. Can I reuse the head gasket or is it already wasted?

Boomer · May 24th, 2008, 01:10 PM

Never reuse a head gasket, it has already been compressed. No shortcuts at all, I never reuse any gaskets, NEVER.

andres0286 · May 24th, 2008, 01:55 PM

I thouth so, was just making sure. Anyone know were I can get one side gasket only. And were can a I get a good degreein kit at a good price?

you need to replace head gaskets,,and head bolts...so what are you doing about pistons...

What do you mean? If Im changing pistons for clearance? If its that then no, we are getting it degreed.

andres0286 · May 24th, 2008, 03:45 PM

Anyone know were I can get a single head gasket

MyGT · May 24th, 2008, 05:23 PM

i'm almost positive that the pistons are tweaked when then hit the vavles.......but maybe i am wrong

Drgnracin72 · May 24th, 2008, 06:55 PM

happens a lot that when the pistons slap the valves, the pistons are also can get some damage

andres0286 · May 24th, 2008, 09:17 PM

I know, we checked but there was only one valve that was bent. The others hit the piston too but werent bent. Either way we are changing the 4 intake valves. The mark is less than a 1/4 of an inch.

Drgnracin72 · May 24th, 2008, 11:01 PM

You couldn't have said it better, the force of ptv is just as bad as detonation. I wonder how those rod bearings look, time bomb ?

tom2000r · May 25th, 2008, 12:44 AM

I pull it out,bore it 20 over,use stock crank ,,scat h-beam rods,,new forged pistons...then down the road he can add, nitrous,,supercharger,,turbo...

Drgnracin72 · May 25th, 2008, 05:00 AM

Drgnracin72 · May 25th, 2008, 05:21 AM

Where is the link to said thread with vid?

andres0286 · May 25th, 2008, 07:50 AM

FYI, the engine is not screwed, only one side of had ptvc problems. We took the head off, were changing the 4 intake valves on that head since they were the only ones that hit, even though only one was bent. It was not bent badly. It was not even noticeable until we got it off the head. We took the pistons out yesterdady and they all look great. There was no damage to either one of them.
