Picture of my burnt valve taken from inside the engine

[LegoHead]

Borrowed a cool endoscope from work today to look inside the cylinder.

I was 99% certain I burnt the valves, now I am 100% sure.






Pistons are mint.

The renault valves couldnt handle the heat. So the flags went up and they surrendered.

probably needs more ignition timing and a little more fuel at the top of the revs

Just looks like a badly burnt pancake to me ...

Im sure all you engine types understand it though

Mate I have a 172 head with 14 good valves and two not so good, if you want me to pull a couple out and send them down drop me a pm.

Correct would be like "nicht gut" keine means nothing, nicht means not.

and actually its lol in Germany too because its one of those very much anglicisms used in Germany
