Hi
Stang started missing, changed plugs and checked a lot of things then my son found a broken valve spring. After replacing that Jay did a leakdown test and found a low cylinder. The heads came off and were taken to Pauls Automotive Engineering and they found a bad valve seat on my trickflows... Anyone else have this problem??

Its not that uncommon with aluminum heads. Supposedly its caused by excessive heat.

I can tell you that when I pulled my TF heads out of the box one of the valve keepers wan't flush and we had to "knock" it down in place.....that was not what I wanted to see right out the box...but no problems since.....lol
