Nooo by the looks of it I will be lucky to find a straight one!
Ive ordered 8 so was going to replace them all.
Rockers look fine, no idea aboit valves, dont know how to check?
ok,best way,have you got or can you get a valve spring compressor?
forget that for now,not sure if the belt going will affect the valves on your engine.

Ah OK, I presume because its not overhead cam its less likely to damage the valves. The rods must be a weaker part (I hope)
yes that is right,if it was my engine/cyl head i would overhaul it while it is on the bench.
I was thinking that but its cost that's the issu
well if you buy a complete head gasket set,then you will get new valve stem seals in the kit.
