I managed to pick up a head today completely free, guy at my job no longer needs it. He said its been sitting for awhile but wasn't sure if it had damaged/bent valves and gave it to me. I asked one of the Techs at work if there is away to check to see if valves are bent or leaking, He said you can put water in the ports if it leaks then no good, but he also said a better way is to go into a dark room with a light and shine them at the valves and if you see light threw the ports then no good also. Im not sure if he was just blowing smoke up my arse or not but wondering if anyone has heard of that or knows anyway to test them without spending alot of money or going to a machine shop. I know that it should be taken to a shop but ill be honest im very limited on money and before i spend any on a shop to tell me the valves are bad if there was a way i can test myself. BTW The valves show no sign of any damage to the eye. Just a bit dirty of build up. No noticeable dings or knicks in them.
Thanks for any info. I would like to get this up and rolling before my daughter is born.
