I originally diagnosed a stuck valve listening to the tapping coming from the engine. The discoloration on the exhaust valve confirmed that. Took it one step further when I got home last night and valve stem is broke.
No carbon buildup on exhaust valve = Stuck/burnt valve.
Lower end is in EXCELLENT SHAPE
# 5 cylinder had minimal scoring from valve stem fragments working it's way through. Could still see honing marks. Will be magnafluxing head to see if it was cracked or not.
There may have also been oil delivery problems to the upper end, all galleys were clear, pushrods were clogged.
I'm still not 100% convinced that this head is cracked, the PO got screwed on whoever did the job before Mava aquired vehicle.
Since we had head off, made perfect sense to put on a head that had no known issues.

I can do Edgewood Crazy Ray's on Sunday.
Shirley, it would be faster for me to drive through Rosedale to Edgewood CR than it would be for me to stop and find a place to meet. I'll let you know when I leave Frederick, and I'll meet you at the JY?
Anyone else from down by Frederick wanna go? We could drive out together. Mike, let us know if/when you come by.
