Does Valve Ticking Need to Be Repaired?
1 Answers
If the valve ticking is only slight, it indicates that the valve clearance is small and no repair is needed; if the valve ticking is loud, it is necessary to check the valve clearance and whether the valve is severely worn to avoid engine damage leading to an overhaul. Symptoms of valve ticking include: difficulty starting the vehicle, lack of power when overtaking, decreased engine power, and carbon deposits on the valve and valve seat cone surfaces. The repair method for valve ticking: the lapping method can be used to clean the carbon deposits on the valve before lapping, and after achieving a certain roundness and cylindricity, install and measure whether the valve clearance is within the normal range.
