Default Re: Engine inspection (with pics)

Hi Jim

As the engine has excellent compressions on all 4 cylinders better than others I have who use very little oil and have no blow by I reasoned that it must be slack guides . On the exhaust stroke the valve pocket is pressurised and if room around the valve stem and guide I thought exhaust gasses could pass down into the valve chest hence pressurising the crankcase etc etc . So it would seem I am wrong so why the engine with very good compressions blows by all over the starter motor area remains a mystery !!!

John in same place same weather Suffolk County England .
