INLET VALVE NOT SEALING

Hi all just changed spark plugs and no3 all fouled up found out inlet valve not sealing any temp fixes does that stuff you put in the petrol work

it cleans carbon deposits and frees off sticky piston rings ,do you no why its not sealing ,burnt valve ,bent valve sticky valve guide,cracked valve spring.do you have a misfire

Just chuffing a bit don't know the problem yet goint to sort in xmas holidays

it might just be sticky valve guide.give it a oil flush i use a good quality one then give it a oil and filter change using a good quality oil,you can do a fuel additive at the same time.have you done a compression test yet, you are better off doing this first then you will no were you stand.

So how do you do the oil flush

go buy your self a oil flush {fortie}or similar run you engine untill up to temperature then add the flush in to the crankcase {the oil cap}when running leave for 30mins at just over idle but not to hard revving or it will melt.
do not drive it when you have added it to your engine.then after 30mins switch it off and drain the oil and change the oil filter when hot and all the carbon and shit that has gathered over the years in the oil gallery's and sump will come out at the same time .let it drain for a good 20 mins dont just let the oil out and stick the sump plug back in ,just change the oil filter and go have a cup of tea then put the sump plug in and tighten it up,fill it up with a good quality oil it is worth the extra few quid for a good shell helex 10 /30 semi synthetic is what we use in our v8 discos.the additive will clean out all your oil gallery's and free off all carbon deposits and piston and valve guides and return lost compression

That's the oil flush started just got to wait for the oil to drain

How did flush go?

Dread to think what would come out of mine.

what size of cup of tea is he having

Didn't get a cup of tea but left it for 1/2 hour then warmed some oil to pour in engine just to clean out fluid then filled with oil + new filters also had to change wheels back over

Made any difference?

Not at the moment

have you do a compression test yet

not yet but I know it is inlet valve on no3 cylinder as when I took of platinum chamber and turned engine over you could hear it

have you got it sorted out yet mate
