Ok ya’ll this one’s gonna be stupid as hell but im gonna let yall laugh at me. ok here goes.
This issue first started off with a plastic piece that was stuck in between the valve and the valve seat causing the car to misfiring like crazy. Here is my initial post : http://audirevolution.net/forum/index.php?topic=4874.0
We’ll now im facing a whole new issue that i caused. I tried to punch the plastic piece out with a screw driver and pryed around between the valve seat and the valve. finally i got it out by burning it with a soldering iron. got all the pieces out that fell in below the head and into the piston area w/ a borascope and compressed air. the rocker popped off but i popped it back in. I spun the motor to a certain position, I pushed down on the valve from inside the head (intake runners), slid the rocker back on from the side and held it in place while i spun the engine somemore and it snapped into place. I know that was a weird method but it worked fine. sure beat the hell outta removing the head and dissablming it to get the rock back on. only thing is the retainer was snapped off but thats not a big deal( its on there pretty tight.
But the main prolblem here is that i think i bent the valve seat and now the valve wont seal and wont hold carburetor clean when i spray alot on it while its closed. there is a slight crack like less than a pinhole crack ( not even half) all the other valves hold carb cleaner while closed.
Is there something I could do under the valve cover to fix it. Or am i just screwed and have to remove the whole engine and rebuild the head? if thats the case I might as well port and polish the heads and intake.And De-cat the headers.
Another thing I think it was, maybe, the valve was stuck open for a long time and the valve spring is screwed up and not normal because it was stuck. so change it out.
another theory I came up with is that the spring will warp back to normal on its own over time in will fix itself.
I dont know but
I want to slap myself in the face with a giant boat oar. seriously im royally pissed off at myself…
so what do you guys think?
