Hi,

.006 intake and .010 exhaust are the specs for the valves. I looked at my factory shop manual last night and that is what it calls for. I have the 2.3l engine in this trooper. It is not a matter of me not being willing to pull the engine out. I am working outside in my driveway. I don't have the tools to pull the engine nor the space to store and work on the engine out of the vehicle. To have any engine work done with the engine out of the vehicle I would need to get the trooper towed to a garage to have them do the work. I don't have that kind of money right now.

This is why I posted here to get some help and insight as to what is wrong with my truck. I am familiar with this engine and this vehicle. I have had several troopers over the years. This problem has me puzzled. It is beyond my knowledge. That is why I posted here thinking that if I posted the symptoms what it might right a bell with someone here.

I never came here with the intention of irritating people. I was just asking for help with something that was beyond me. The reason that I am not always working on the truck is that I am at the mercy of the weather and my jobs. I have never put anyone down here and I have always tried to treat people here with respect.


Thanks

Mike
