Re: Symptoms of a burnt exhuast valve?

If you wiped lobes, there was a lot of metal that went through the engine. Pull your oil filter and cut it in half so you can look at the element. If there are metal particles, there is a good chance that they have damaged your crank and bearing surfaces. Probably worth your while to pull the engine to at least look at the bottom end and the cylinder bores (you are going to have to remove a head to have it repaired and would normally do both heads at the same time). Sounds to me like this could be a more extensive than a cam and lifter replacement. Good luck with whatever you do.
