Thanks....

Are you speaking from experience Rich?? :eyes:

I checked the valve lash and it's spot on. I know that doesn't rule out bad valves.

How do I check without pulling the head?

Cool! I'm in Primm this w/e for the race, so when I get back I'll PM ya.....

BTW, If it is intake valves, are we talking just worn and not seating? Burned?Carbon build-up? I just cant imagine why the intakes may be bad.

They usually get burned and a little bit is missing around the seat..
