It depends if there is any damage to the pistons. If there is no damage to the pistons, I dont see why it would be a problem.

 

but i mean is that even possible? bending valves with out damaging pistons?

Yeah, I think I just had a brain fart. The dude that had my car before me fucked up the pistons in a weird way, yet the valves are fine. (skipped like 3 teeth)

 

thanks for your info.

anyone else?

 

If the pistons have little dings in them you can get at them with a 3M pad (depending on how bad the dings are). I would change the rod bearings also.

Personally I wouldn't buy the motor unless the head was taken off so you could see the damage.

 

^^ thanks
