I have done everything I can think of to be rid of the problem, but it still persists. The engine has 144,000 KMs and without hardened valve seats I can only assume that there is a burnt valve in one cylinder. I am replacing this engine so I won&#8217;t bother to do a valve job as it is still driveable and &#8216;good enough&#8217; for local driving. If I do go on a road trip I will add some lead substitute so another valve doesn&#8217;t burn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Second rotor destroyed as well as the dist. cap button &#8211; one on left has had it&#8217;s tip cut off by the rotor and the one on the right is a new one.
