Before Christmas I took the head off of my 550 gas to get a burned valve replaced. Got the head back Saturday afternoon and put it on Sunday. I was checking the valve clearance and the one they just replaced needed adjustment. I broke the nut loose and couldn't move the adjuster with a screw driver, I tried using a wrench on the screwdriver and it wanted to burr the slot. I ended up putting some heat on it and then was able to get it to move. I tried several other
ones and they were all stuck tight. I have never ran into this before, wondering if someone put locktite on the threads when it was apart? You can see the color change on the one I heated up. Anyone ever run into this?? I ran a compression test just for fun and all cylinders had 120#s. I was going to fire it up today, but I found some of the wiring needed attention and my hands got cold, so it will have to wait for another day. Chris
