Definitely found the issue on #4 exhaust. Chip in the rocker. Screwed the valve up. Ya there are several issues going on at the same time, some more worrying than others. Going to order another rocker and see about repairing the valve stem. Anyone know of a good source for just the valve parts?
Also where are you guys getting replacement parts for SAI systems? Atlantic British doesn't seem to list anything.

Check with Paul Grant, Will TIllery, Mike Sides (Tarheel Rover), or some of the other used parts guys for the SAI tube. There is a trick to getting them off without mangling them.

I'll echo doing the HG's while you are all the way there. No way to get a new valve on. Good HG's aren't really expensive, neither are stretch bolts. I would also want that head checked considering that damage. In the end, if you need to replace valves, the smart option is probably rebuilt heads from Abran, or that one anyway. But you won't know unless you take it to a machine shop, if you do keep the heads I highly recommend doing the valve seals while there.

So after talking to my neighbor, the original owner. The motor has 35 thousand miles and 8 years. New Bosch engine.
Now that I'm awake I realize I can't replace the valve without pulling the head. I already have spare head gaskets and all that. So that's not a problem. Also work in a shop. So that's also not an issue.
just curious as to how much I'm loosing from that valve. How much of a pita is it to replace valve seat and all that. I'd rather do it myself. I'll buy a new head if I screw it up.

We'll its been making this tick for over a year. Plus the 5k miles I put on it. So it hasn't blown up yet, I assume it's ok.
