Re: head removal
I finally got back to my problem with low compression in cyl #3. I removed head with a breaker bar with little problem, all 24 bolts came out. I found #3 exhaust valve looking really bad, see pictures. I used a fiber brush on a drill along with a small wire brush several chemicals and a lot of time and effort to clean under and around the valves as they were open. After inspecting the seat as best I could with a mirror and flashlight I re-installed the head and prayed. The praying did not help. The compression in #3 went from 40 lbs to 30 lbs. Now I'm back at square one. Car is back as it was, starting and running good but not firing at idle. Any suggestions, maybe the pictures will help.
