I have cleaned all of the carbon and junk out of and off my pistons and valves on my MH 44-6. While I was doing this, I would turn the engine over by hand until the intake vavles would open, and then blow air through them. When I did this, tons of crap would fly out of the muffler. So I decided to take the manifold off, to see what was in there. To my surprise, over two cups of corn and old cat food came out of there. I guess mice will find these places when its been sitting for 30 years. Lots of old cat food was stuffed into the vavle openings also. After doing this, I noticed that a couple of the valves were cracked, and almost none of them are seating right. I need to find a valve overhaul kit fot this 266 continental engine. I was also wondering if I could preassure wash the motor, all fluids are drained out of it, with hot water to really clean it up. If I just let it air dry for a week or so, shouldn't it be fine. The oil pan, head, inspection plate, and front gear cover is off, so I should be able to clean the whole engine out. My only concern is that I won't be able to get all of the old oil out of the engine and the water won't dry, so then when I go to add new oil, there will be water in it. What do you guys think? I was also wondering where I could get a new valve overhaul kit? I couldnt find one on this website.

If the valves are not seating properly it could be from burn but more than likely the guides are bad and need replaced.

You probably need to strip the block and have it dipped and all the oil passages cleaned and blown out. Have the head reworked at your local auto machine shop and the crankshaft measured for wear.
They will have sources for valves and bearings.

It will start rusting before you get your power washer put away.Since you can turn it over now,you would be better off to do something else.If you have cracked valves,you might as well fix them,means you have to take the head off,and you can clean it up with a grinder and a wire brush.Best place to ask about valves might be a place that grinds them.There could be a chance that they have some valves.Is that a flathead motor?
