Hey, If anyone is out there... I'm doing some routine maintanence, and am adjusting the valves (first time). Cylinder 1 was a walk in the park. Cylinder 2...now there's a problem. The #2 intake valve was tight...so tight, that when I removed the adjusting bolt, I *still* couldn't get an .006 blade in there. Stuck valve? Burnt valve? The exhaust valve was adjustable, but I needed to go the end of the bolt. Not much room left for adjustment. The #1 valves still have some length in the bold, but not as much shown in the Muir illustration...Please diagnose! The car is a '63 1500S, although that shouldn't make a big difference, right? I'd like to know if there's a quick fix, how much the right fix would cost at a mechanic (if I have to have that valve replaced, should I replace all of them? Get a rebuild? Gulp...). Is the car moveable at all? Don't want to suck the valve into the cylinder. At any rate, I'm about to hit cylinders 3+4. If anyone is reading...please hit me with your best. Thanks! Jonathan
