She ( daughter) bought this car 9 months ago. I did an oil change then, oil was fairly clean, and I did one about 1200 miles ago. When I got teh Valve cover loose and looked under there, the Head was Very clean...no buildup at all. 105K miles.
If a valve was stuck open, I don't know if this is an intereference engine, and if it wasn't, wouldn't the piston whacking the valve sure as heck close it?
Friday I will put a wrench on the Crank and see how much play there is in the Timing chain.. I will also do a compression check and possibly dump the oil through a paint filter to see what I can fish out ( hopefully nothing).
Thanks
