Angry Rocker Install gone Wrong!!!

Everything seemed to be going nice and smooth... with the aid of a couple guides.... till I got the springs off... and I noticed that my Exhaust valve seems to be sticking.... theres also some gunk leaking out of the seal... the valve stem is slugush when you move it up and down... what gives... I need to get new seals that a given... but how do I get the rest of the gunk off the back of the valve??? One of those Power Flushes???

This is crap!!!

Engine degreaser will do the trick.

Re: Rocker Install gone Wrong!!!

You think...???

Don't really want to invest the time and money playing around with stock heads... do you think one of those RUn-Rite things will do any justice?
