Valve question
working on a stuck exhaust valve on my newly acquired 147 I got the valve working with some PB Blaster and a dead blow hammer. Didn't take alot and its moving up and down fine.
I see the valve opens a very tiny bit then seems to close again before opening fully. Is that how it should be? See no reason for it to work any other way. Is that like a compression release?
I have been rotating the motor by hand to let the valve loosen up. I have noticed if you constantly rotate the motor non stop the valve travels fine. BUT sometimes if you stop turning and the valve is in the open position it sticks open and requires a tap to go down. After the tap it "snaps" down.
