Hmmm, some ones been reving out haven't they, hit the rev limiter and got a nasty noise. Oh well, buy a new valve as yours is now bent. they cost peanuts for std ones.

Poxy 3i. That turbo conversion seems a lot more interesting now. No wonder it was only get 76 on the rollers.

Before you convert, try changing any bent valves and re-cut the seats properly, then see if it's running a lot better (compression should be up).

Prolly not a sticky valve - more likely a valve not sealing the cylinder :???:
