Well, it will pop out the carb, or exhaust, witchever valve is bent. Pull the valve covers off, and turn the motor over slowly, by hand. Make sure all of the valves are closing, or, the stem height is all the same at one point, on every valve. And remember, a burned valve, will act the same as a bent, or stuck valve. A cylinder leakdown test is the proper way to diagnose this, however, that requires a few specialized tools, which most people do not have in their garage.
If you have a bent valve slide, or valve, or valve casing, they usually wont move. Valve's and valve casings would prevent the valves from moving, while bent valve slides wont easily pull out. If you suspect a bent valve, valve casing, or slide, try cleaning and oiling it first, valves and slides can become stuck with the lack of valve oil or slide grease.
Sounds like you bent the valve. You'll have to pull the head to fix it.
Popping out the exhaust, or carb. Engine will run rough on acceleration. Pull the valve covers off, and sping it over by hand, watching to make sure all the valve stem heights are the same, at one point. A rocker arm will have accessive slack, at some point. A cylinder leak down test is the proper way, however, it requires several specialized tools.
Remove the spark plugs and check the compression in the cylinders, low to no compression will indicate a bent or stuck valve
Need to know what year.
It shouldn't matter.
As far as I know it is a square "box-like part" in the upper right center under your hood behind and above the engine block As far as I know it is a square "box-like part" in the upper right center under your hood behind and above the engine block
I'm having that done now(98 S10). $380 to replace the chain. If they have to pull the oil pan to remove broken pieces, it will be $805. When they get it back together, they will do a compression test to see if any valves are bent. Don't know what it will cost to fix that.
The valve cover on a typical engine is a non wearing part. If it were damaged it could be bent, warped or cracked and could be the source of an engine oil leak.
Need to KNOW the YEAR of the engine. And what it is in.
Need to know the year and engine size.
i know for a fact big block Chevy gen vi 454
