Ke36 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 ok so wen my car went upside down it snapped the cam gear off so i was worried about the valves getting all bent outta shape, its a 4g63t so is an interferance motor have taken the head off and there appears to be no visible witness marks on either the valves or the pistons have also rotated the cams over checking each cylinder individually by shining a torch down the ports and there is no light "leakage" from any of the valves is it safe to say i got really lucky and no valves got damaged? or do i need to get more indepth testing done?

forced Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Usually when you've bent a valve, you'll know because the rocker arms go loose with the valve closed. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
