[QUOTE="Freefallin, post: 1401266, member: 21535"] The more I read and reserch, the more I am finding out its highly unlikely that my issue is a bad starter, and it's more than likely a bent/bad valve or bad valve guide or valve seat. So here's my next question: if I pop both valve covers off and all of the followers/rockers/springs look like they are all fine and nothing is cracked/loose/missing, what is my next step? I actually have the bad ass heads that came with the car (PI heads with Comp Stage 1 blower cams/Comp Beehive valve springs, Comp cam gears and what I believe might be aftermarket valves, so if I have a bad seat or guide or bad or bent valve and the pistons are fine, could I simply install those heads and re-time with a new timing kit and call it a day? Any and all insight very much appreciated. Sean [/QUOTE]
