Sheesh....I didn't didn't mean for you to take me up on that double dare lmao.

Depending on how bad the valve is damaged will depend on the severity of the symptoms. Generally ticking/pinging sounds, poor idle, and poor compression in relation to that cylinder are key indicators.

So if it's running fine why the second thread on the same topic for something that's not happening? Is it running funny or what?
