I am about to put the y8 head on the y7 but I am concerned about one thing. two of the valves are sticking out about 3 cm past the other ones. Is this normal?

n e one?

 

sticking out of the block?

 

**** my bad, i meant valves, lol 2 valves sticking out of the head

 

Out of the Combustion chamber or the top where the springs and rockers are. Either way you have a problem. If it's out of the combustion side you have a bent valve whic is not seating all the way. If it's out of the top you have the wrong valves. But definitely not good.

 

its right by the squelch (c. chamber) ill take pics, they may be bent, thanks for the help

 

is the cam still in the head? there is no cam position which will allow all 16 valves to sit flush in the combustion chamber... there will always be valves sticking out.
