Basically simply stated in Topic Title.. Do I have to remove the head for inspection of all my valves... I'm hearing "click click click click click" that moves with the increase of RPM's an it goes to the rev like as I rev higher the clicks move faster an louder... Or, if I leave a complete stop an go from first to third "so I can hear engine noise better to avoid exhaust noise interference" I can hear it VERY clearly... So basically yeah, easiest way to inspect valves anyone..???

I've searched and found that all people know so far, is how to tell other people to search lol...

 

you can do a leak down test

 

All cylinders should put out somewhere above 200psi right..??? Even if a valve is slightly bent will it show up on a comp test..??

 

your thinking comp test.leak down will tell you more but do both

 

Wont a leakdown test just show if my head gasket an stuff are bad..?? I didntknow if it would show signs of bent valves... sorry for misunderstanding...

 

again your thinking compresion test

A leakdown test will tell you how much leakage there is and where it's leaking from.

You need an air compressor and a cylinder leakage gauge set.
