Valve replacement help
« on: April 15, 2009, 12:24:47 PM »
So i have a bad exhaust valve in my tracker, I have never done any work on this motor ( i have done a lot of work on hondas) I was wondering if anyone has a good writeup on an easy way to replace the valve? or any input on how difficult it is. I just picked up the valve, headgasket, intake and exhaust mani gaskets as well as a new valve cover gasket. any input would be greatly appreciated! a good writeup would be amazing!

It's an easy fix, just line up the timing marks before you take the timing belt off

Line up all the timing marks and then put a spot of paint on each of the pullies and the timing belt. Use the old timing belt to line it all up when you put it back together again then slip it off and put a new one on.
