Just figure it's a quick sanity check If you did the above test, and it got poor results, that would unfortunately mean that the valve itself is warped or cracked and isn't fully seating on its own (with absolutely no interference from the cam), which would mean that further teardown would be required to replace that valve. One other thing to consider: once you get the exhaust cam out, you might want to do another leakdown test on that cylinder (which will have to be cold of course ) just to make sure it looks good. ![]() cost for parts below: 180.42 (with shipping)ฤก LIFTER-VALVE. pulleys for TB (reused my tensioner and timing belt-both items only have 20k on them) : $127.07 Previous guys did not use rtv, and gaskets only had 10k on them. And I could have saved even more if I grinded the buckets 'a la heiche' style. Note that I bought a timing belt cover as the one I had was cracked. Here, I'll just report the items I bought for a total cost of about $310. Job is done (see my posts on pages 9-10 of this thread).
