Leaking Exhaust Valves
Posted: Mon Dec 14, 2009 4:52 pm
Help!! Its driving me mad
The exhaust valves (stb side) on my 1834cc Vdub keep on developing a leak. The valve guides have recently been replaced as I thought the cause of the problem was worn guides, and the seats recut. Tappet clearance .006". Compression ratio 7.5:1. I run the engine on Avgas (had a couple of scary moments on Mogas vapour lock and all that).
Any suggestions/help would be appreciated .
Merry Christmas and a Nippering new year to one and all.
Cheers
Stuart
