22RE burnt exhaust valve?
Not really a question, I guess, just looking for some warm hugs of support.
1992 truck, 22RE, Not many miles on a new engine. I'm still fuzzy on the details of the engine swap since it's a friend's truck, but maybe 20,000 miles? The shop that put the engine in has shut down, so I'm not sure what he can do for warranty.
When he brought the truck to me, it was running rough, but it wasn't charging, so I put that off to low voltage causing it. Got the charging system working, front brakes done (300,000 on the original parts) CV axle replaced, engine to trans stiffener replaced, fired it up and it runs rough. Noted a puffing in the tailpipe, so went with a trick a hippie showed me and held a dollar bill to the end of the pipe and it would suck in as well as blow out. Definite sign of a problem with an exhaust valve.
Found that #1 has the miss, so I pulled the plug and blowing air in the hole, it comes out the exhaust pipe.
I will pull the valve cover and take a peek at the rocker to see if it's tight, but I don't have high hopes for that.
Sigh. He has bought the Truck twice, now. Once when new, then again when he put the engine in and had it painted.
Any questions, comments or condolences are appreciated.
Edit: dumbass strikes again.
I had disconnected the #1 injector when pulling the throttle body and forgot to hook it up. Runs great now.
So why did it suck air at the tailpipe?

So the lesson is, never listen to hippies.
