[Bricklin] Engine Problem Running Correctly

[Greg Schroeder]

I believe I have found the problem.  Checked the compression with my thumb 
over the spark plug hole and found one cylinder that I could feel the vacuum 
on the intake, but nothing on the compression stroke back up.  I decided to 
pull the head and after a few hours had the head off and there is a bent 
intake valve that could never close.  So now to find a replacement valve and 
either fix it or have it replaced at the machine shop where I had the engine 
machining done.

Pulling heads off two different cars in one week.  Oh what fun.  My daily 
driver Toyota Supra blew a head gasket last week and I planned to pull it 
over the holiday.

If I get it to Lexington, my engine may look at little dirty since getting 
it running is my first priority.
