[QUOTE="Mechanoid, post: 634978, member: 13076"] If you had a bent valve then you wouldn't get the correct cylinder pressure. Do a compression check on that cylinder. The other thing you could have done while the rocker shaft was out is to put a straight edge along the tops of the valve stems. If they are are all touching the straight edge, the chances are that the valve isn't bent. If No. 4 valve stem is below the others then it is most probably bent. However, do a compression test to set your mind at ease! [/QUOTE]
