engines do not stop suddenly caused by a valve sticking "closed". the valve
sticks open. That's the way things are.

A junkyard engine that is corroded will have valves stuck open and closed and
partially open and partially closed. It will also have pistons corroded tight
and bearings corroded tight.

The original post said he had ****a**** valve stuck. Than means the valve was
stuck open.

dude, have you **ANY** idea what a camshaft does for a living?


--------- What you mean is, that if the valve can't be pushed open, the
valve
rod will bend ? Or whatever pushes the valve will get stuck or break.

dude, that is not the valve stuck closed but rather the lifter stuck.
Different problem.

besides, the original poster did not say he had a bunch of valves stuck (how
would he know if a valve were stuck closed? he couldn't for the engine
wouldn't turn over, and if perhance it could be foreced over it would break the
valve train, making for lots of other and obvious problems.)

dude, have you **ANY** idea what a camshaft does for a living?

Obvisously not.

go back and play with your ticker toys.


Why do you insist on insulting people, Assby?. I've seen valves stuck closed
with bad hydraulic lifters. Absolutely. Esp in engines that have sat for
long
periods.

only in your world. He did not state open or closed. Nor did he state that the
engine stopped suddenly. Look it up.

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.

Dude you better get a grip, a shot cam or lifter doesn't make a valve
stick closed. New cam, no problem....you mean valves not stuck
anymore? A miracle, not really....it wasn't stuck to start with,
Jeezus christ...do you people actually believe the **** you write?

OK Brian, settle down now. No need to be nasty. Most of these guys
don't even remember solid lifters and are not as smart as you, me and
Jax.

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

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.

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.

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 ****.

Dazed and Confuzed,
A little pointer for you, valves used in marine engines are made of
stainless steel with silicon impregnated bronze valve guides and
DO NOT RUST. There go's the moisture theory out the window.

I have. easier in fact to get moving than one stuck open.


--

and if the motor stops with that valve in the open position and there is any
moisture from condensation or gasket leaks, do you think that the valve closes
and then rusts? If you then turn the motor over, the valve spring may not be
able to break the rust and close the valve. It happens.
