springs and related hardware for excessive wear or
distortion. Check valves and valve seat area or inserts
for evidence of deep pitting, cracks, or distortion. Check
clearance of valve stems in guides.

Hard starting, or loss of power accompanied by high
fuel consumption may be symptoms of faulty valves.
Although these symptoms could also be attributed to
worn rings, remove and check valves fi rst. After removal,
clean valve heads, faces, and stems with a power wire
brush.
Then, carefully inspect each valve for defects such as
warped head, excessive corrosion, or worn stem end.
