I had my engine over heat I checked all of the standard stuff. After a leak down test I discovered number 6 was leaking into the coolant. I had RJC bullet proof head gaskets. I think the accidental 30 pounds was to much for it.
The number 5 exhaust valve was leaking 50% leak down after pulling the head I noticed the valve hit the piston. My question is why did the valve hit the piston could this be from valve float? If so what springs should I buy? Anything else I should get while its apart? Where can I buy a new exhaust valve? The valves are currently Manley but I don't care what brand. Not sure what else would cause this other than valve float. Also I noticed the Teflon has popped out of several of the seals can I do something about this or not worry about it?
Most of the time I find all the answers just searching old threads so I don't post much but this time I need some input from you guys. I was getting ready to buy a ball bearing turbo but my car had a different idea. She must like the turbo she has now.
