Bump. Im in Italy on vacation, but called the shop. I was hoping to have it diagnosed and repaired by the time I get back next week, but it’s not looking good and the news is bad. You guys are right in that it’s a valve issue. The shop is saying it’s cylinder #2 valves. They will pull the motor to pull off the head to see how bad it is. Any opinions? |

it could be valves adjusted to tight,that can cause water reversion because the exhaust valve doe,s not close all the way.even if only one exhaust valve is set to tight a small amount of reversion can happen.

They are pulling the valve cover for inspection first, but I’ve only had WiFi and no calls possible. I don’t get back to the real world until next Wednesday. Maybe I’m optimistic due to not hearing anything major (knocking, pinging, full devestation) while running it that maybe it’s just a broken valve spring? Is that even possible without any damage to the piston/cylinder/pushrods? The leak down test they did suggested exhaust valve. |
On second thought, never mind. Wouldn’t the leak down test apply enough pressure to seat the valve and no air to escape (assuming the broken valve spring idea)? I guess I’ll have to wait. |
