Inspect the camshaft lobes. Replace the camshaft and valve lifters as required. |
|||||||||
Worn valve guides or valve stems. |
Inspect the valves and valve guides, then repair as required. |
|||||||||
Stuck valves. (Carbon on the valve stem or valve seat
may cause the valve to stay open.) |
Inspect the valves and valve guides, then repair as required. |
|||||||||
