<< I just did a partial rebuild on my XPAG. I had the cylinder head done by a
professional British car mechanic, new everything on the head plus hardened
valve seats. I ran the engine in the garage yesterday for an hour between
1500 and 2000 rpm. All was well. Today I took it out for a very mild drive
around the neighborhood. A couple blocks from home the number two exhaust
valve stuck. It eventually popped back out and I made it home. Is this a big
problem or just a normal thing with a recently rebuilt engine? >>
Bob, what kind of valve guides? Bronze?? If so, they need an extra thou or so
to keep from sticking.
