Default What's wrong with this picture?
In the process of doing a little winter maintenance, I came upon this.

This is a pic of the #3 & 5 exhaust valves. Is the #5 valve too tight?

Thanks for any input.

Your engine appears to be burning rich..the white ex. valve appears to be a burnt valve caused be poor sealing between valve seat and valve.
May be time for a valve job.

I’m thinking the duplicate thread of this in C3 Tech is enough.
