Finished pulling the cylinder head - and found the exhaust valve in cylinder
#2 had a couple of pie-shaped gouges in it. Beyond that, all of the valves
look pretty sooty - which coincides with my sooty spark plugs (I had them in
there for less than 30 minutes running time and they came out coated in
black soot) - so I guess I get to lean out the mixture screw on the carb
once I get everything back together.
So a couple of questions :) First, I'll be ordering all of the bits to
replace the exhaust valve, plus the replacement head gasket. Rest of them
look fine - so is there anything else I should be ordering while I have this
torn open?
Second - How can I tell if my head has already been milled to 8:1 or not? I
checked for the stamp and it looks like a 7:1 head. Can I go by the push
rod length, or should I get the thickness measured, and mill down to 3.590"
(v. 3.690")
Thanks!
