Author Topic: Anyone knows how to fix head valve? LETHL 03 ¯ Member # 5401 posted                              One of the valves on my head got stuck and my piston was hitting it. I dont know much but it seems it got stuck in the open position and was wondering if anyone knows how to fix and how much?

You'll definatley need a need valve guide and valve. Possibly a valve spring and pushrod. Depending on how much damage there is you could be looking at anything from boring the engine .020 or .030 over (if the cylinders are scored, then you have to replace all the pistons) to a new block. That is if you ran the motor with chunks of the valve moving around the cylinder. -------------------- "Don't Drive Faster Than your Guardian Angel Can Fly.....
