    First off, this is not my car.. http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=121718&hl=%2Bback+%2Bfrom+%2Bthe+%2Bdead&fromsearch=1 Its a car that I've been working on. The car has been sitting for the last 7 years, with a bad fuel pump. The owner didn't know anybody that knew how to work on SQ, until he met me. I replaced the fuel pump and go the engine running. The car has been started up and let warm every other weekend, for the past 3 months. I go to change the oil and fuel filter. After I finish, we go to start the car up, and it's has this awful tapping noise. So I pull the VC and see the #1 intake vale was not closing all the way. And the tapping noise was the lifter sliding out and being forced back in. Now I ask you again, can that be anything but a bent valve? And any intelligent theory of how it could of happen. I told the owner, Something that was living in the intake, could have been sucked into the combustion chamber, and is wedged between the valve and head. Either way, the head has to come off
