I took the head off of my B tonight after finding out that #2 cylinder
wasn't working. I only ordered rocker studs to replace the two bad ones,
but the two good ones also stripped now :( So it will be atleast until
Tuesday before I can put it back together.
About the valves. I'm assuming that #2 wasn't working because the rocker
assembly wasn't fully tightened. If I place a straighedge across all the
(closed) valve stems with the rocker assembly removed (head off of car),
#2,3,6,7 valves are taller. I'm not sure if those are intake or exhaust,
but I think they're the smaller ones. Also #1 valve was white. And
cylinders #1 & 4 were black while #2 and 3 were still shiny.
Should the different height valves bother me?
I'm moving back to school in two weeks; mom says if I don't take the car
with me it's gone. It's been immobile in her garage for two months!!!
