strange valves etc.


Recommended Posts

Took the head off the 1932 and the exhaust valves look more like sombreros than the two replacements I had previously bought:-? Also had a thingy fall out of the head; looks like it would fit into an intake port, but there's only this one I found after transporting the head car to shop.  And those two exhaust valves remain very stuck for no apparent reason. :-( Anyone know of exhaust valves like these?  And which port the insert fits/foes to?post-102260-0-42494600-1437762317_thumb.post-102260-0-41300200-1437762331_thumb.post-102260-0-16687400-1437762354_thumb.post-102260-0-55828100-1437762375_thumb.

From what I can tell, the valve in the first picture is called a "tulip" valve.  It is now a bad valve and needs to be replaced.  It is usually a valve/ cylinder that has been overheated and deforms from the pressure pulling the valve up into the valve area by the valve spring.  You will need to replace the valve. 

 

I have one on my work bench in the garage that came out of a truck that I owned.  That one is fairly severe.  Be sure to check the piston and the rest of the cylinder.
