Terry,
you're right, I'll wind up in Hell acting like that.
I'm sorry guys no intentions to offend anyone but
JAX MADE ME DO IT when I read his post.
"dude, have you **ANY** idea what a camshaft does for a living?
Obvisously not."
That was some funny ****.

Watch the blasphemy, you'll end up in Hell.
Well by stuck, you mean doesn't operate?
What could possibly make a valve 'stick' closed?
If it is immobile in the closed position, how is a person to know
if it is 'stuck', as in a bent stem, or just 'stuck' because
there is nothing on the cam or in the leaky lifter, pushrod, or
rocker department to move it?
If a timing chain breaks, don't most of the valves wind up
'stuck' closed?
Wassa matter, nobody else to play with?
I had a valve 'stuck' closed because the cam lobe and lifter
bottom was all gone. I'd call it stuck, 'cause it didn't move.
Well, OK, maybe it wasn't 'stuck', any more than a truck in a
ditch is stuck, it just lacks motivation or traction, right?
I do hope you weren't trying to imply that there is only one
reason why a valve might decide to stay, or 'stick' in one
position. Lack of motivation is only one way to get stuck.
People usually think of valves that 'stick' as sticking open, but
what the hay, this ain't the coffee room at mechanics exclusive
incorperated, is it? Besides which most mechanics don't speak
real Inglais, anyway.
JAXAshby, I don't know why you waste your effort trying to convince
morons???
DIBS! Canadians got DIBS on the word MORON, Moron.
You mean convince recruits to join the club, right? Go back to
playing with yourself.
Plonked again, transparent boy.

I doubt that you have seen much. Your previous commentaries on
things mechanical has been hilarious and very illuminating. I
would ask if you were a French mechanic, if it wouldn't offend
even them.
A valve 'stuck closed' is a valve with a dead lifter or worn
cam. I saw one, once, in an old chevvy van 350. New cam, no
problem.
stuck open
Or, a broken pushrod, or a broken rocker arm, or a loose
adjustment screw, or even a loose rocker shaft. Any other
possibilities, like a broken timing gear or chain, that could
strand a valve, leaving it stuck in the closed position? Maybe a
lost valve spring retainer clip / key, or a worn valve spring end
plate, er, what are they called, thingamajigs? Been so long, I
forget.
Gunge or a broken valve spring could leave it in the open
position, among other causes.
