Went to the river and this happened

[fordmugg]

Went to the river last weekend and 20 minutes in going down to the sand bar I lost compression and started running real rough, limped it back and when I got home did a compression check and a leak down check, comes out I bent 2 intake valves, so now in the process of getting it fixed so I can be back on the water

I bent 2 intake valves,

Don't just fix the valves, find out why you had two bent intake valves. Probably tuliped valves, not just bent. I would guess improper timing, over propped and lugging, running lean or all of the above.

bummer that happened. Have you got her fixed up and back on the water?

Re: Went to the river and this happened

Yeah I just got her back together and took it on a test run on Tuesday, the boat ran awesome, I replaced the bad valves and went ahead and lapped all the valves in. The cause was I had 2 loose spark plugs that leaned out the cylinders and caused the intake valves to distort, but a little bit of work and she is running, here it is when I fired it up
