"Its happened again. #3 &
"Its happened again. #3 & 5 inlet valves stuck, resulting in two very bent pushrods. Happened during start up. two days ago. engine last ran 3 weeks ago. Exhaust valves not effected.
This happened a few months ago, i found the valves locked solid inside the guide. Vise grips locked around valve stem could not move them. It was not bent. glued in by a black deposit inside guide. What is this stuff?
Last time i freed up valves by removing spring, Oxy Acet to guide, black goo started to ooze out and valve started to free up. Finished with WD40 to disolve goo with cordless drill spining valve in guide. Why has this happened again? what is this black stuff in my inlet valve guides? Thanks for any help, Mark."
