As I resurrect an old thread....how was that broken valve guide diagnosed (before the obvious physical evidence was found). I still have my smoking issue and I *know* I put aggressive side pressure on the valve keeper to try to keep it from turning since I didn't have the third special tool.
I would not be surprised to find I broke the guide, but how would I diagnose that....other than pulling rocker and spring off?

Here are some pictures of my engine with a busted valve stem that caused a bit of problem!
So OK these picture show a much wetter combustion chamber but I hope they demonstrate my feelings of built up oil shown in your pictures |
