Hard starting or loss of power accompanied by high
fuel consumption may be symptoms of faulty valves.
Although these symptoms could also be attributed to
worn rings, remove and check the valves first. After
removal, clean the valve heads, faces, and stems with
a power wire brush. Then, carefully inspect each valve for defects such as
a warped head, excessive corrosion, or a worn stem
end. Replace valves found to be in bad condition. A
normal valve and valves in bad condition are shown in
the accompanying illustrations.
