#3 Exhaust Valve Posted by 79-900t [Email] (#577) [Profile/Gallery] (more from 79-900t) on Mon, 5 Jun 2006 12:32:04 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I have a 79 900t and a 76 99 ems, both have engines that I have rebuilt and both seem to have problems with the #3 exhaust valve. I have had two exhaust valves on the turbo burn out and now have had two exhaust valves on the ems burn out. I am wondering what suggestions everyone has as to why I have this problem. I set the valve clearance to the book spec. It is only the #3 exhaust valve on both engines. The turbo has over 85k miles since rebuild and the ems has about 42k since rebuild, about 24k since I replace an exhaust valve last. Any insight would be great, I really don't like haveing to change valves out all the time.
