bent valve, piston ok?
car 92 civic hatch.
motor stock b18b1
hey ht i was at the race track and miss shifted from 3 to 2. dumb mistake i know.
i pulled the head and am replacing it with a fresh head.
head is still at the machine shop getting valve guides, valve seals and springs put in.
so my question is when i pulled the head the valve in cylinder 1 had a next to nothing indent. it was a very slightly bent valve, but the piston had a new little groove in it at the valve relief from where the piston came in contact with it. its not much but something. will the new valves be ok when installed with these pistons? or is there going to be a issue with that cylinder? thanks
