Hi Grumpy
That didn't take as long as I thought! I think I found the problem, the valve doesn't travel very much at all. I checked the intake valve using the same procedure and that valve travels much further as I would have thought it should. Do they have the same travel length? So now what? Is there a way for me to take the valve retainer off and not have the valve fall in the engine? I'm thinking that if I keep the piston up to almost top dead center and then take the retainer off, then slowly rotate the engine so the piston starts downward letting the valve drop without falling completely inside the engine. This way I could look at the valve shaft and maybe rotate it to see if its bent or see what maybe causing the problem.
Have got any other idea's?
Thanks
Mike
