    The exhaust valve that dropped looks like nothing happened to it and the push rod too. The valve gets stuck at a point in the valve guide. No one procrastinates wrenching more than me and this is the result kids....dont be like me.

    I'M the first one to complain about forum threads being left unresolved....so my apologies. After 5 years of life with kids and jobs and everything else, I finally pulled the head off.

    Looks like I am going to have to pull the pass side head off. Tried tapping on the valve stem with a brass hammer and didn't move it much if any. Hate to pull all that off with another K5 project going on but don't have a choice. Exhaust manifolds don't look like they've been off in a...

    I've tried to push down on the exhaust valve but its not budging....my next thought is to put a wire around it in the groove so it doesn't fall down then try breaking it loose with some hammer work. What does the people here say about that thought? tks

    I've got to get a new regulator for my air compressor and pickup a Harbor fright spring compressor. Also, I will order a kit for seals and orings, and new keepers, I'm sure you can't get just one. How far down is the exhaust seal located? I didn't see one at all.

    I think the valves an parts you see are cleaner then the pic makes them look. Almost no sludge at all.

    Looks like further troubles. #6 exhaust valve was dropped passed the keepers. I didn't see that until after I had gone thru the adjmt process for all valves and cleaned covers etc. I stopped after seeing that and got on to other problems. Spring, keepers, and the rest of parts were all in...

    Well, I can see um. Nothing much to see here. BTW, that bolt sticking out of the tee connection at PCV fitting is a prior owner gift to me. It was there when purchased and truck ran fine with it prior to present state. With new plugs, wires, cap, rotor....not sure why cylinders 1 and 2 don't...

    Rerouted the wires on dist cap tonight and repositioned the dist. Went to time engine but timing light was not lighting up on plug wire 1. Moved the inductor clamp to all plug wires and light will blink on all except cylinders one and two. Haven't seen that before. I'll read up on pic...

    In looking at dist cap....the wires are bassakwards from a normal setup. When I changed wires, I did one wire at a time just like I got truck. But I am going to swap wires around and put the dist around to time. Maybe some Pics are necessary....

    I picked up this truck end of summer and drove it about 500 trouble free miles before coming back home one night and having it basically shut down. After looking for anything obvious it finally got running and I limped home with a awful running missing engine. Wires looked great and couldn't...
