Well, my car has set up for at least 5 months with a warped head, burnt, and bent valves.. It was then sent to the shop for about 5-6 weeks. The head has been reconditioned, with new valves.. I get the car back and it hardly wants to move.. So the timing was advanced a little.. and it was better.. Someone told me that sometimes the valves have this wax like coating on them and it was probably just breaking them in, and it hasn't fully gotten the coating beat off yet, so the valves aren't going all the way up.. Well, I've had the car back for a while now, still not a lot of acceleration change.. When I floor it, it's like all the power just drains from the car, but if I keep it floored until I hit about, 25 mph, it's like you can feel a thrust of power, and then it goes fine from then on, except when you hit 2nd, it slows down a little more, but once it gets revved out, it boosts again.. The valves are still rattling a good bit, so, I'm thinking maybe it's because they didn't set the valves correctly to the shaved head.. I "was told" they had to shave the head by 20 thousandths.. So, like I said, I'm guessing maybe they didn't set the valves correctly, or maybe the timing is still off?.. But once again, the problem is poor accelleration which evolves into a boost of accelleration around 20-30 mph.. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated..
